Everything you need to know about Harrod Sport

  1. Football

    Coaching youth football (ages 11-18) requires a different approach compared to younger players. A key thing to remember when coaching teenage players is that they are very susceptible to tone, language and mood, and so it's important to portray activities and training sessions in a way that appeals to them.

    ​Sponsoring young and aspiring athletes has always been a big part of our ethos at Harrod Sport, and we love to see how they flourish at what they do.

Even more so for those who work in sport, or even teach it, like our Ron Harrod Foundation athlete, Fiona.
