Coach Kray and His Football Ideology


Welcome to Pro Athletes Coaching! I'm Kray Foster, an ex-professional footballer turned coach. As a private football coach, my passion for football runs deep, and I have a genuine love for helping players from all walks of life develop their skills in this beautiful game. I believe in a coaching philosophy centred around passing, movement, skills, position understanding and enjoying every minute on the pitch. My mission is to inspire footballers in Bristol and across the country to reach their full potential, on and off the field.

Training Style


In my sessions, you'll find me vocal and encouraging. I believe in praising players when they excel, but I also believe in constructive criticism. Punishments aren't about anger but a push towards excellence because I know every player can do better. My coaching demands time management, communication, discipline, and hard work, reflecting the professionalism I've experienced. My goal as a private football coach is to ensure players are constantly challenged and growing.

Realistic Coaching Strategies

All my sessions are game realistic, focusing on passing, movement, keeping possession, and offensive tactics. These strategies ensure players can easily transfer what they learn in training to actual matches. For example, when we lose possession, immediate pressing is key to regain control and return to our system of play. This approach not only improves individual skills but also enhances team dynamics.


Setting Your Goals

Goal setting is crucial in my coaching methodology. It allows players to see their progress and set benchmarks for improvement. We work on both short-term and long-term goals, tailored individually and for the team as a whole. This structured approach helps players stay motivated and committed, driving them to achieve their football aspirations.

Helping Players Recapture Their Love of the Game

Football is about passion and joy. While I maintain a professional and serious approach during training, I also make sure sessions are enjoyable. I love seeing players smile, bond with teammates, and leave each session having learned something new. My aim is to help players rediscover their love for football, contributing to their overall happiness and mental well-being.

Moving forward, I joined Forest Green Rovers (FGR), experiencing football as a full-time profession. Playing against renowned players like Jadon Sancho, Angel Gomes, Phil Foden and representing the Cayman Islands National team as its youngest player were major highlights. These experiences equipped me with the knowledge, skills, and passion to coach future football stars. I also had the privilege of training with Forest Green's first team multiple times and scoring against Tottenham FC.
