Since 2000 Martin’s career in professional football coaching has seen him gain UEFA and USSF licenses, work at Wolverhampton Wanderers FC and Aston Villa FC, develop professional football academies, write coaching curriculum, be a national staff trainer for US Soccer and use football to empower the lives of children in Nicaragua and other developing countries.

With a BSc (Hons) in Sport Management, Martin completed his MA Sport Psychology with Distinction in 2014 and went on to become an Adjunct Professor at Folsom Lake College, California, establishing both the Men’s & Women’s collegiate soccer teams. Working towards his Div.47 accreditation with the American Psychological Association, Martin established a client base from amateur to elite athletes as a Sport Psychology Consultant, before returning to the UK in 2016. 

Martin’s consultancy continued and through Elite Mind Solutions, he has cultivated a loyal client base of amateur to elite athletes, using tailored, research based, athlete-centred interventions. He has now started to share such strategies with An Elite Mind: Unlocked, his new social media and podcast series.
