“Over the years I have known Kevin, he has used his experiences as a professional football player to challenge traditional practices and views for the betterment of the people he works with. Kevin is an excellent role model and has a clear affinity with those he works with encouraging them to take control of their own lives to make the best of life’s opportunities."

- Martyn Heather, Head of Education & Welfare at the Premier League

Kevin has made a huge difference, in helping me channel my nerves and improve my performance. I remember, he worked me a lot leading up to the trials, especially because it’s something that I needed to work on. And we came up with ways of taking the nerves away in a way to really enhance performance. So I definitely went into it with a completely different mindset.

- Rio Rosenberg, Crystal Palace U23 Captain

“Ofsted rated Kevin’s work as outstanding and Kevin himself as a great role model.”

“The session with Kevin George from Soccology was really good. I felt listened to, and he was understanding.

You can tell he knows everything, and is well informed in what he’s talking about. I bought the Soccology book, I’m almost half way through and I love it!

He helped me think from different angles and a lot of positive things I can use to take my career forward.” 

- Mads Jorgensen, Hartford Athletic FC

“Kick It Out has worked with Kevin for a number of years and we find him creative, professional and passionate with regard to equality and inclusion.

He is able to transfer his knowledge and experience from different areas into evolving new and exciting ventures.”

 –  Roisin Wood, Director of Kick it Out

“Kevin delivered Soccology to our players. It was the first time we had run workshops like this but he was the perfect choice of presenter to run the sessions.

The players were fully engaged and staff commented afterwards that we should run more programmes like this for the players, which isn’t the reaction we always get.”

– Matt Henly, Head of Education Arsenal Football Club
