The coaching
Detail, honesty,
repetition
Dave's sessions are planned, not improvised. Every one follows a theme and builds through it — a warm-up that prepares you properly, practices that put the focus to work, and small-sided play where it all gets tested at real speed.
Expect honest feedback and high standards. Dave tells you what's working, what isn't and exactly how to fix it — the same way he coaches in the professional game. You leave every session knowing what to work on next.
Why DNA Women's
The gap after girls' football
Dave has seen it again and again: once players move on from girls' football or leave an academy, high-quality coaching all but disappears. Plenty of women still want to get better — they just need coaching that respects their level and fits around work, study and club commitments. DNA Women's Football exists to fill that gap.
