Dan Clark – Academy Coach

• British Football Academy Tokyo – Coach
• English FA Level 1 Qualified Coach
• Holder of FA Certificates in Soccer Parenting & Registered FA 'Soccer Star' Coach
• British FC Tokyo – Player

At first glance our youngest FA qualified coach Dan Clark could easily be mistaken for one of the kids being coached, but a kid he's not, well not all the time anyway. Dan is a personable young man who always has the best interests of the children he coaches at heart. Quick to introduce new feints, tricks and turns, Dan is constantly guiding, inspiring and challenging the more proficient players. With the younger players Dan's soft demeanour, warm smile and ever-enduring patience are the perfect attributes that go a long way towards ensuring that young players are given the freedom to express themselves as footballers within an environment in which there are no mistakes, only improvements to be made through positive guidance, heaps of praise and reinforcement (and heaps more praise).

Chelsea supporting Dan, when he's not coaching, plays for the British Football Club and is one of the quickest and most incisive wingers in the First Division of the Tokyo Metropolis League.
