INTRODUCING JAMES PARRY

James’ background in coaching comes from working at the Liverpool FC academy for several years. He coached the Liverpool FC U16 and U18 teams, helping to develop seven players who have played as professionals in the English Premier League. James’ Liverpool FC U18 team also reached the FA Youth Cup Final. After leaving Liverpool FC James was headhunted to coach elite players in Los Angeles where he worked with hundreds of junior and senior school aged children.
