Ryan Vistacoin
Lead Coach
Hi I’m Ryan, currently the Head Coach at Braywick, I’ve been with Little Kickers for more than 5 years now. I’ve been playing football all my life, competitively at men’s level. I enjoy the warm community at Little Kickers and helping the kids grow a love for football. My future ambition with little kickers is not only to develop football in Maidenhead but to also increase the confidence of young kids playing sport in a group environment.

I love the relationships i have formed with both the children and parents the sessions couldn’t be any friendlier.

I’ve been playing rugby for 5+ years, along with a strong passion for football & coaching. Outside of Little Kickers I play the guitar, frequently go to the gym, and I’m in school studying Economics, Business & Psychology at A-Level. I aspire to journey into business management for university in 1.5 years time, hopefully to make my own business as a young entrepreneur, following my parents’ footsteps. My favourite part of Little Kickers is giving the kids the opportunity to bring out their confidence and sharpen their skills for the future, making it both fun and rewarding. Overall, Little Kickers has and will continue to give me a strong passion for football and the coaching aspect of it.
