He has 22 years of experience working in football across a variety of roles, including the last five years in senior leadership positions. In his current role as Head of Football Operations and Development, he has developed a strong understanding of leadership, business strategy and management, alongside the importance of creating environments where people can thrive. He views his ADHD diagnosis as a superpower, bringing a unique perspective to decision-making, problem-solving and understanding individual needs.

Hello everyone and welcome to another episode of the Performance Psychcast. Today we are very fortunate to be speaking with Jack Rolfe.  Jack launched The Coaching Lab back in 2018 because the experience players get in sport is a pure lottery, coaches are unsupported and teachers are always short of time and often struggle to engage mixed ability groups.  The Coaching Lab was recognised by Richard Branson's Virgin StartUp as an "inspirational bright idea", accelerating their reach to impact teachers and coaches across the world play more games.  MatchPlay Cards are now loved and trusted in 75+ countries, used at the games' grassroots and with the world's elite.
