Testimonials

It’s has been so exciting to find out about No1Fan.club. I was lucky enough to attend an event with an incredible panel of guests bringing real expertise and desire to help families on their various and diverse journeys in football. The opportunity to meet and talk to people who can empathise, support and advise was wonderful.

The No.1 Fan “live” event not only met but exceeded my expectations. Engaging discussions and audience questions kept things tangible and real, emphasising the importance of key relationships and effective communication throughout our children’s journeys. 

Natasha, (Academy Parent)

Congratulations, for last nights event it was amazing! I’m just a Mum and this was perfect. As to date its the only event I have ever been invited to which provided a safe space just for parents.

Des (academy mum)

The guidance and resources she has provided our family have transcended borders! It has truly been invaluable, providing us with a sense of clarity and calm in what often feels like an overwhelming and emotional process. Thank you for what you are doing to support us football parents, Marcia! No one else is doing what you do!

Leigh Lee, Canada (Parent of ‘White Caps’ player age 17)

We are following along on Instagram and have already downloaded your No.1 app and have been navigating and enjoying working our way through the  podcasts. We found those we’ve listened to so far fascinating and at times heard so many similarities to our own football journey and thoughts `We are watching and supporting you both always on this much needed support platform. We know so many people will gain a huge insight and much needed help from all you are producing. 

Sarah Morris (Parent of Pro player)

We had the pleasure and honour of having No1Fan.club present to our Academy Parents as part of our new Programme to support our Parents supporting their Sons.

Marcia and Kat were eager to be involved from the very beginning when we had the idea of establishing a bespoke series of webinars for our Parents. With the aim of helping them as they navigate the many challenges being an Academy Parent brings with it.

From the first minute to the very last, their passion, enthusiasm and experience shone through on screen and in their voices. Linking their own experiences to those of our Parents, empathising with them on key milestones and being open and honest about the mistakes made along the way.

It was refreshing and inspiring to hear their stories and encourage our Parents to share theirs too. As a result, the feedback we received immediately after the webinar was wholeheartedly positive and of thanks for giving up their evening to have this engaging conversation, albeit through a digital platform.

The fact our Parents can sign up to their platform for free, engage with other Parents and tap into resources that will help them now and in the future is groundbreaking and much needed in Academy Football.

We can’t wait to have them back next season and keep the conversation going.
