I am James Adepoju
I grew up in Brixton and as a youth I was noticed as a talented sports person. I went on to represent the Borough of Lambeth in athletics and table tennis. Although, I was good at these two sports, I was also a promising and skilful footballer. Having trialled for various professional football clubs I finally represented Fulham FC Youth Division.
I sustained an injury to my left knee which unfortunately for me, put an end to my football career. Still determined, I did not give up.
At the age of 21, I found a passion for working with young people. My first youth lead experience was a success. I had started up a youth club which the Mayor of London, Boris Johnson made a visit to acknowledge the great work I had done.
I also worked for Fulham Foundation for over 6 years. Using my youthwork and FA coaching badge experiences, I engaged 'hard to reach' young people into doing something constructive with their lives using the power of sports.
I moved on to become a Physical Education Coach at a primary school based in South London.
Working with young people and families drove me to setting up my own company called J A Coaching, delivering weekend football for the community and school holiday clubs.
Additionally, with my passion for keeping fit, I decided to become a Personal Trainer. I strive to help motivate individuals to achieve their chosen goals.
Aim For Your Goals In Life.
