ABOUT

Welcome to M2 Impact Coaching, run by Michael McEntegart. I am deeply committed to creating an engaging learning environment, one that empowers players to ask questions, experiment with new techniques, and embrace the beauty of the game with enthusiasm. 

Having transitioned from a career as a full time footballer, I now dedicate myself to guiding the upcoming generation of players, focusing on growth, improving skills & technical ability and nurturing a passion for the sport.

Coaching Experience

Over the course of more than 15 years, I have amassed a wealth of hands-on experience that I'm eager to share. My journey started on the field as a full-time footballer. As this chapter evolved, so did my aspiration to give back and inspire young talents. My specialization lies in coaching ages 8 to 14.  I have coached in a multitude of environments,  from schools to academies to semi-professional men's sides.  Both as a goalkeeper coach and an outfield coach.

Qualifications

My coaching journey is supported by my qualifications:  FA Level 2 Outfield, Futsal Level 2, Coerver Coaching Level 2, a goalkeeper coaching badge, and a degree in Sports Science with a focus on biomechanics. Furthermore, my dedication to player safety is unwavering, backed by an advanced 3-day first aid course. This underscores my commitment to the well-being of our players, both on and off the field.

Coaching Philosophy

I strive to create an environment where curiosity is celebrated, and mistakes are embraced as stepping stones toward excellence. My commitment extends beyond skill development; it's about igniting a lifelong love affair with football and a positive association with sport in general.

In a world where coaching transcends strategy, my approach stands out for its simplicity and flow. I firmly believe that active engagement is the key to unlocking kids' potential. Through hands-on experiences, players hone their skills and learn, departing from passive instructions. At M2 Impact Coaching, my mission is crystal clear: to lay the foundation for success by imparting players with the fundamental building blocks of ball mastery, enhancing their technical prowess, and providing them with a platform to excel not only in skill but also in situational gameplay.
