Building a Legacy: Jamie Green, Kixx Sheffield Franchisee

6th September 2024

At Kixx, we believe that a great football academy is built not just on talent but on dedication, leadership, and a passion for making a positive difference to the lives of children. One franchisee who truly embodies these values is Jamie Green, the driving force behind Kixx Sheffield.

From Professional Footballer to Franchise Success

Jamie’s journey with Kixx began in April 2018 after an impressive career as a professional footballer, including playing for Rotherham United and even scoring the last-ever goal at their old Millmoor stadium. His transition from the pitch to running a thriving football academy as a franchisee was seamless, thanks to his deep understanding of the game and his commitment to delivering excellence at every turn.

Leading with Dedication and Passion

Since joining Kixx as a franchisee, Jamie has grown Kixx Sheffield into a sought-after destination for children to enjoy getting active. His academies are known for their high-quality sessions, where children not only learn football skills but also build confidence, teamwork, and make friends that can last a lifetime. It’s no surprise that under Jamie’s leadership, Kixx Sheffield has seen high demand, with many sessions booked out and waiting lists that speak to the quality of the coaching.

Jamie’s dedication to his academy is not limited to his own efforts. He has developed a coaching team that shares his passion for football and mirrors his attention to detail. Under his leadership, Kixx Sheffield has become a model of consistency and quality, earning rave reviews from parents.

The Results Speak for Themselves

Jamie’s success isn’t just measured in packed sessions and happy families. His Net Promoter Score (NPS) consistently ranks among the highest in our network, reflecting the outstanding experience he delivers to both children and their parents. 

A True Leader On and Off the Pitch

Jamie’s approach to running his Kixx franchise shows that the same qualities that make someone a great footballer—discipline, teamwork, and a drive for excellence—can be applied to building a successful business. We are proud to have Jamie as part of our #TeamOrange franchise family, and we are even more thrilled to recognise him as this month’s Man of the Match for his incredible contributions.

A New Chapter: Congratulations, Jamie and Emma!

In addition to his professional achievements, Jamie recently celebrated a major personal milestone—his marriage to his beautiful partner, Emma, after 8 and half years together. From everyone at Kixx, we send our heartfelt congratulations to the happy couple and wish them a lifetime of love, health and happiness.
