Meet franchise owners who turned their passion for football into a thriving business with We Make Footballers:
I liked how as a young female, I was given the utmost respect and We Make Footballers put their trust in me to positively represent their brand. My goal is to give coaches opportunities like I was given, growing a team with great ambition and seeing the children we coach grow as people and develop their skills at the same time.
I was determined to turn my passion for football into my full time job. The guys at WMF have been awesome! They have been quick to respond to questions while helping me through the application process. Using data mapping, they were able to help me choose the best territory to set up my franchise, as well source the best venues in my area.
We Make Footballers was my first ever coaching job, which turned into a full-time career for me as a Franchisee. I have seen the impact I have had on the company and how important I have been made to feel. It’s rewarding to work within a business where you are so valued and where you have a positive effect in football everyday. We Make Footballers has made this a great opportunity.
