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.
