Paul and Darryl completed the
BTEC First Diploma in Sport at
NHC, before setting up the Paul
Klein Skills Academy (PKSA).
Paul has since worked with some
of the best and biggest sporting
Stars in the world including
Crisiano Ronaldo, Iniesta &
Wayne Rooney. Paul is also one
of UEFAs Skill experts on uefa.
com. He has built and mastered
his own amazing routine showing
his unique array of skills &
tricks which catch the attention
of millions of people around the
world.
While originally specialising in
football coaching at primaryschools around Hertfordshire,
PKSA now coaches students
of primary school age on a
multitude of other sports, such
as cricket, athletics, rounders,
netball and basketball, and as
of next season, they will be
starting a football team for
children called PKSA Panthers.
Darryl said: Our sports
academy is different because
we teach children an element
of football freestyle to allow
children to express themselves
and enjoy their football.
While the pair were at college
they discussed setting up a
business together. Gordon
Barr, Vice Principal for
Entrepreneurship and Student
Enterprise, often gave themadvice, which helped to spur the
two on.
