Newport · Ages 5+
Strong foundations. Elite habits.
Football coaching in Newport.
One-to-one and small-group coaching for young players, from grassroots to academy level. Led by Kai Wint, drawing on professional and international playing experience.
My story
From Pill to professional football. Bringing the experience home.
I grew up in Pill, Newport. Football has taken me to clubs across Europe and beyond, and given me the honour of representing the Seychelles at senior international level. Along the way, I’ve learnt from experienced players and coaches, faced setbacks and had to keep pushing forward.
That resilience is what Resolute Ballers stands for. I founded the academy to share what I’ve learnt and help young players build strong foundations, elite habits and confidence in their own ability.
From grassroots players to those already in academy football, I focus on each individual’s development. Our development and elite groups give players the opportunity to train with others at a similar stage, challenge themselves and enjoy improving.
- Training with purpose sessions focused on the skills and habits players need to develop
- Individual attention small groups with time for personal coaching and clear feedback
- Clear next steps players understand what they’re doing well and what to work on next

Our approach
How we develop players
We prioritise technical calm, intelligent decision-making and professional habits from a young age. Our sessions are demanding, detailed and purposeful, and these five areas guide them, with the focus adapted to each player’s age and stage.
Focused. Disciplined. Resolute.
-
Technical skills
Developing first touch, passing, dribbling and finishing, with the confidence to use them under pressure.
-
Game intelligence
Learning to read the game, recognise space and make better decisions with and without the ball.
-
Fitness and athleticism
Building speed, agility, balance and fitness through focused drills and game situations.
-
Resilience and confidence
Mistakes are part of learning, hiding is not. Responding to setbacks and staying ready for the next challenge.
-
Teamwork and character
Communicating clearly, supporting teammates and showing discipline and respect on and off the pitch.
Meet your coach
I’m Kai Wint
I bring experience from having played football across eight countries, alongside representing the Seychelles at senior international level. Working with different coaches and players has shaped how I understand the game and how I coach.
My aim is to create an elite training environment where players at different levels feel challenged and supported. I set high standards, give clear feedback and help each player understand what they need to work on.
Since setting up Resolute Ballers, players working with us have been given the opportunity to progress, including opportunities with professional academies such as Swansea City, Newport County, Cardiff City and others. Players have also joined my sessions from Reading and as far afield as Malaysia.

FAQ
Questions parents ask
Anything else, message me and ask.
What ages do you coach?
From five, up to senior players. One-to-one sessions are built around the player, and group sessions are arranged by age and ability. Holiday camps are for ages 6 to 12.
Where do sessions take place?
Pill playing fields is my base, and in the winter I organise 4G pitches around Newport. I confirm the exact pitch when we arrange the session.
What should my child bring?
Football boots for the surface, shin pads, a drink and clothes for the weather. We train in the rain, so bring a waterproof layer.
What if we need to cancel?
Give me 24 hours’ notice and we move the session. With less notice the session is charged.
How do we pay?
Per session, or four one-to-one sessions for £90. I explain how to pay when we arrange the booking.
Can parents watch?
Of course. Parents are welcome at every session.
Does my child need to have played before?
No. I work with players at every stage, from children learning the basics to those already playing at a high level, and I help you pick the right session.
Do you run talent ID events?
Yes. I organise talent ID events where scouts are invited to watch, and I say which scouts are confirmed when I announce each one. Taking part is a chance to be seen, not a promise of a trial.
