Who is Coach.Dabbs?

I am a football coach based in Suffolk specialising in 1-to-1 player development, helping players improve their confidence, technical ability and performance in match situations.

I have built experience working across boys, girls, men and women’s football environments, including roles within Junior Premier League and senior women’s football.

I hold a First-Class Honours degree in Football Coaching and Administration from the University of South Wales and am currently working towards my UEFA B Licence (2026).

Alongside my coaching roles, I continually develop my own knowledge by learning from experienced coaches and applying new methods into my sessions. I believe strong coaching comes from continuous development, both for the coach and the players.

Training in Action

Real 1-1 coaching sessions focused on improving football ability, confidence and performance

My daughter really enjoys her 1:1 sessions with Nathan and it has been great to see her confidence grow and watch her transfer the skills she has learnt onto the pitch. Every session feels completely personalised — Nathan takes the time to understand where you’re at, what you want to improve, and then builds sessions that are both challenging and genuinely fun.
He pushes you to work hard, but always with encouragement, positivity, and a real passion for the game.
