Feedback from Tottenham:
Our coaches commented on the unwavering enthusiasm and brilliant attitude shown throughout the duration of the week and what a pleasure it was to coach such an engaged and talented group of players. You remained focused during all sessions, consistently showing an eagerness to learn new techniques to take your game to the next level and develop your existing abilities. This was matched by the exceptional levels of effort and application from every player. A huge congratulations from everyone at the Club for a successful week!We created memorable moments, with some great technical play, incredible goals scored and a match against one of our Academy Development Centre squads at our state-of-the-art Training Centre. Equally, we hope you enjoyed the visit from former Tottenham Hotspur midfielder and BT Sport pundit Jermaine Jenas, who took part in an insightful Q&A session.
