TOPICS:

School was a rough terrain for Adrian Tuitt—think dodging academic pitfalls, battling behavioural issues, and wrestling with his temper.

But put a ball in his hands, and Adrian was a whole new person. For him, sports wasn’t just a hobby; it was a lifeline, a sanctuary that kept him on the straight and narrow, far away from street life and gangs.

So, when the report cards rolled in with nothing to boast about, did Adrian throw in the towel? Not a chance. He took his passion for sports and enrolled in a college sports science coaching course. Fast forward four years, and he’s the proud founder of his own sports coaching business, transforming young lives in primary schools across London. How’s that for turning the tables?

He speaks from the heart, covering topics from the life-changing magic of sports to the art of turning setbacks into comebacks. Believe us, when Adrian talks, people listen.

Individual-Speakers-Quote

The session has had a far reaching effect so far - children proudly wearing their bands, staff and pupils referring to the key catch phrases 'the time is now' 'OQP' etc We've moved on to focusing on 'Perseverance' so all you said remains relevant. You definitely appear to have reached out to all the children but most especially those we wanted to target."

Individual-Speakers-Quote

It’s clear to see Adrian’s passion and drive for working with young children as soon as you meet him. When he came to meet some of my students who are typically disengaged in lesson, they were hooked by his natural charisma and friendly delivery style. Students showed a lot of interest in what he had to say and this was evident through the great questions they asked at the end. Furthermore, all of the students he spoke to have now gone on to complete their work experiences really successfully, with a positive and driven mindset. I feel that meeting Adrian definitely contributed to this shift in attitude and self-belief."
