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?

Adrian 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. His words have that hard-to-find blend of lived experience and practical wisdom.

Who’s the right audience for Adrian’s motivational magic? Adults, teachers, anyone working in a intense work atmosphere and let’s not forget—our young people in education. Anyone who’s up for a “started from the bottom, now we’re here” tale will find Adrian’s story a hit. He’s got something for everyone—life lessons that resonate with adults and relatable, real-talk inspiration for the community.

What sets him apart? Adrian Tuitt doesn’t just tell stories; he’s lived them. He’s a living, breathing testament that where you start doesn’t have to dictate where you finish. And if that’s not worth listening to, we don’t know what is.

Believing in yourself is essential for unlocking your full potential. When you lack self-belief, every aspect of your life feels disconnected and uninspired. It’s crucial to cultivate the skills that empower you to feel confident and capable consistently. Without self-belief, you’re deprived of the vital energy needed to live up to your true potential. Adrian’s talks will offer the support and tools required to embrace self-belief and lead a fulfilling life in alignment with your potential.

Dealing with adversity in school as a young person is crucial for personal growth and development. It teaches resilience, problem-solving skills, and the ability to adapt to challenges, which are essential life skills.

Moreover, overcoming obstacles in school builds confidence and fosters a sense of accomplishment, preparing students to face future challenges with courage and determination.

Adrian lives by The Time Is Now! Just like a clock, time doesn’t stop so why delay on the task ahead. It’s time to limit your distractions and ACT now!

Homework to do – The time is now!

Get out of bed stop being lazy – The time is now!

Of your phone and tidy your room – The Time is now!

What people say

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.”

Linda Sarr – Headteacher – Risley Avenue Primary School

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.”
