Meet Alistair Gaunt

Football Development Coach. Talent Identification Specialist. Certified Personal Trainer.

When it comes to building a football career, you need more than just raw talent.

Alistair Gaunt is the Founder of Playmaker London and an elite performance coach specialising in youth development and high-potential player progression.

Alistair’s journey through grassroots football, academy trials and non-league development shaped his understanding of the modern football landscape. After earning Player of the Year honours at youth level, representing London Schools, completing extended trials at Millwall FC, and competing in elite amateur and semi-professional environments, he witnessed first-hand the gap that exists between talent and opportunity.

While playing and later coaching within grassroots and semi-professional football, Alistair recognised a recurring problem: talented players lacked structured development, honest feedback, performance education and clear pathways to progress. This inspired the creation of Playmaker London — a scout-led development platform designed to replicate professional standards outside of traditional academy systems.

Today, Alistair combines talent identification, personalised training programs, strength and conditioning integration and player education to help athletes train smarter, develop faster and compete at higher levels. His approach focuses on clarity, accountability and measurable progress — ensuring players understand exactly where they stand and what is required to reach the next stage.
