Mark Elton

I am an experienced football coach and sports educator with over 15 years of international experience delivering high-quality coaching and sports development programmes across the UK, Canada, the USA and China. My background includes working in schools, football academies and governing bodies, leading player development programmes, mentoring coaches, and creating positive learning environments where young people can thrive both on and off the pitch.

I hold UEFA and Canada Soccer coaching qualifications and am currently completing a BSc (Hons) in Football Coaching, Development & Administration. Alongside coaching, I have experience teaching post-16 sport, managing multi-site football programmes, and working closely with students, parents and school leaders to promote participation, wellbeing and personal development.

I am passionate about using sport to build confidence, resilience and lifelong skills. Whether delivering PE, leading football academies, coaching school teams or developing coaches, I bring professionalism, energy and a player-centred approach to every role. I am particularly interested in opportunities within international schools and independent schools where I can contribute to both sporting excellence and the wider school community.
