“I've been training with Hish for the past few months. As well as being a great coach, he's a better person. He always checks on me to see how I'm doing and what I can do to better myself. He always makes sure the sessions are specific to help improve my performance and that I feel like I'm always improving”

"I honestly cannot thank Hish enough for all of his efforts, dedication and persistence. The support and effort he puts into his work is beyond words. This isn’t just about football, it’s about hard work, mental state, mind set and all the other great attribute it takes to exceed and become a good sports person. Through your mentorship you have installed some of the most important qualities you would want your child to have, and I owe this to you.
Hish really cares about his boys. There have been times when Hish has spent time just working on my son’s confidence and talking to him. There have been times when my son has had a session and he has not touched a ball, but you would be working on his strength, mentality or bad knees and you would be giving him therapy. The list goes on, to me you are not just a coach, you’re a mentor and someone my son looks up to.
I remember brining my son in the middle of winter on the fields, with hardly any lights in the freezing cold. You pushed through regardless of obstacles and never gave up. I admire you work ethic, it’s a different level.
It’s an absolute pleasure to be part of such a unique programme. And to grow with this programme has been the best experience yet.
I cannot recommend enhance performance enough. Hish puts 100% effort into all of his players, regardless of age or capabilities. I have seen youngsters hardly able to control a ball and within weeks they have come on heaps and bounds. Most importantly, I see all the children happy and engaging.
I have watched enhance performance grow and the quality you receive now is just has great has it was from day one. Hish you are amazing at what you do, your passionate, hardworking and deserve all great things that are about to come your way. It’s been an honour to be part of the enhance family."

"Can honestly say I have never come across a coach as passionate, engaging and committed to my son’s development and potential future in football as Hish. In all the sessions Tobias has had, there has never been the slightest drop in quality or enthusiasm from Hishi. He has taken the time to assess strengths and weaknesses and has tailored a plan for the individual. The group sessions have been equally rewarding for his confidence in playing with a talented group and his decision-making. I would have travelled much further to see him. His demands are high but so are the results you see in progress."
Derek Forrest, UK
Northumbria University First Team Football Manager
"Hishi was offered an Athlete Scholarship in 2020 as he joined Northumbria University’s MSc International Sports Management programme and the University’s football team which I had the pleasure to coach at the time. He made a substantial contribution to our team through his hard work, phenomenal football skills and team play, and soon became a role model for the rest of the players, setting the highest standards in terms of discipline and commitment. I am excited to see Hishi take up a professional career in football development. Based on my experience working with him, the fantastic dedication I see he is putting into supporting young talent, and the results he is already achieving, I truly recommend having Hish as a football coach to take your football skills to the next level."
Kieran Weightman, UK
Father of U-9 Manchester City Academy Player Mason
"Hish has been instrumental to my development to date. He has taken time to evaluate and understand me as a young player, in order to identify my strengths and to understand the areas in which I need to improve on.
Using his experience and capability to truly understand players, he has taken time to build a robust bespoke training programme for me which has been implemented during focused 121 sessions.
This in turn has allowed me to build on my strengths and improve my weaknesses, making me an overall better player.
His experience of assisting players of all abilities and talent, provide him with the perfect platform to really get under the skin of every player he is involved with. The variety at the sessions makes it exciting, interesting and definitely allows boundaries to be pushed.
I am now a young player fortunate enough to be pre-signed with Man City Academy and I’m enjoying every valuable experience that is being created. However, any opportunity that I get to re-engage with Hish to continue to develop as a player and improve on my technical ability I exploit.
A fantastic mentor & coach that I would highly recommend and feel fortunate to have had the opportunity to work collaboratively with and will continue to do so as my football journey continues."

"Since being involved in football coming through various academy systems, working with Hishi has taken my game to the next level. Since working with him I have played professionally in Gibraltar and Spain and currently playing semi-pro in England and on my way to gaining a pro contract. Hish with his unique coaching philosophy and techniques has not only helped me on the pitch but also enhanced my mindset and put me on the path to becoming the player I’ve been trying to become. Anyone who works with Hishi will receive all the tools needed to be on the path to the Elite level. Honestly a world-class coach and a rare gem who has really helped me improve myself as a person and as a player."

"Fabio has been part of enhance performance for a while. Honestly that's been the most challenging in Fabio's football journey.His left foot is much better now.
To be fair you're one of the best coaches I've ever seen. You're a great sports person, it's about your hard work, mental state and everything else."
U-16 Newcastle United FC Player
"My coach has been instrumental in my growth as both a player and a person. Hish has not only highlighted my weaknesses but also showed me the right path to improvement, often pointing out where I was going wrong. His guidance taught me the value of hard work and determination. I never realized how weak my left foot was until we began working on it, and now I feel confident using it. His coaching has not only made me a smarter player but also strengthened my mindset, fostering humility. Throughout my journey, he has been an unwavering source of support, always there when I needed it."
Shaydey, UK
U16 Wolverhampton Wanders FC Academy Player
"I have been part of ETP for over 5 years. I must say it has been the most challenging but rewarding time in my football journey. Hishi has brought out talent that I never even knew I had. He has always given me constructive feedback and encouraged me to always do my best. When I felt like giving up, Hish has always encouraged me to keep going. Hishi runs combined sessions; one-to-one, groups session or the gym. All the sessions have benefited me in so many ways, Technically, physically and mentally. I always look forward to the holidays when all the boys come together and just have fun. I also look forward to helping the younger ones and teaching them skills, as you always encourage us to look out for one another. I appreciate all the times I have attended training with bad knees and growth pains and you have worked on me. Thank you for always being caring, now I am older I appreciated and understand you were looking after my health and wellbeing. "

Hish is dedicated when working with you individually, spending time on both your strengths and weaknesses, whilst also making the sessions position specific. Hishi is extremely encouraging, enthusiastic & passionate. I feel privileged to be part of his enhanced performance training programme and I know he will continue to support me and help me to play at the highest level I can."
