UEFA B · Founder
Ryan Frankcom
Ryan Frankcom is a UEFA B Licence coach with over 20 years of senior playing experience, including semi-professional football in the United Kingdom and Australia, and international representation at U16–U18.
He applies the standards of a high-level playing environment directly to his coaching, with a clear focus on player development, accountability and a consistent drive for high performance.
His coaching education, shaped by the German Football Association’s (DFB) methodology, is organised around four performance domains — technical, tactical, physical and psychological. Practice is principle-led: quality of execution, decision-making under pressure, and professional standards of preparation.
Certified in football-performance strength and conditioning, he translates physical development into football-specific demands. The work is to identify, challenge and develop players on and off the pitch.
He holds a Western Australian Working with Children Check. Nexus Performance Lab is fully covered with public liability and professional indemnity insurance.
01 / Screen
Performance screening
Eight 60-minute sessions. Speed, change of direction, aerobic capacity, movement, and football actions, then a written report. Data first. Then the plan.
02 / Build
Performance S&C
One 45-minute session a week for eight weeks. Foundation strength so the body can take the work. Hinge, squat, single-leg, brace, then power.
03 / Move
Functional Performance
Functional training and movement patterns. Sprint mechanics, deceleration, cutting, landing. The patterns that keep players on the pitch and make speed usable.
04 / Play
On-ball sessions
1-to-1 and group football on the athletic base. First touch, scanning, 1v1, weaker foot — what shows on a match day.
Things you may want to know
- What age do you take?
- From 15. Under 16s need a parent at the session. The screen changes with age and maturation.
- Do you replace club training?
- No. We sit beside it. Tell us the club nights so we don't double-load.
- Where are you?
- Public pitches in Fremantle and the Perth region: Hilton Park and Tompkins Park. Indoor gym time is booked when a block needs it. The location is confirmed before the session.
- What if it rains?
- We move indoor or to the gym if we can, or we reschedule. You'll hear in advance.
- Can I cancel or get a refund?
- Cancellations less than 24 hours before are non-refundable, or in some cases held as a session credit.
