Cloud Coaches
Success leaves clues
Judah Davies
“Each game situation poses a unique problem, the best players have various keys to solve them, they know when, how, and why to unlock each one"
I always wanted more detailed and individualized coaching when I was a player. Especially, which ideas I should consider when owning a position and all aspects of “game intelligence”. I rarely found this support and had to develop this understanding myself. Being in a position to provide this support for others has been a big part of my inspiration for choosing coaching as my vocation. My process always begins with understanding your style of play, including if needed, reviewing your video and consulting your opinion on where you want to take your game. From here we will work together on finding the areas in your game we can grow, as well as improving some of your strengths. With the use of elite examples, particularly players with a similar profile to you, as well as analyses of your own matches we will work on adding new ways of solving situations within your game. If you find yourself wanting more individualized support in developing your game understanding, get in touch and I’ll help you reach that target.

“The future player is an artist of space. Thinking, feeling, and anticipating the next action. They are always adapting within the ever changing dynamics of a match, searching for the next space to exploit.”
I am fascinated by how the very best players make decisions. This curiosity has evolved into a passion for player development. Over the past 11 years I have spent day and night studying the various leagues from different angles, lens, and perspectives in search of new learnings and ideas. Through this I have developed an evolving database of best practice clips and a unique method for teaching players how to optimize their decision making in time and space. The goal is to make you more adaptive, to help you read the game faster and to help you find your flow state so you can become a Space Artist. My approach involves us studying both your clips and that of professionals in similar ‘positional problems’ that you would experience and then going over scenarios on how to solve them. It’s about instilling an opportunity oriented mindset, where you’re constantly 1 decision ahead of the opponents. Through our sessions I will help you develop skillsets and principles so you can act on these opportunities more often. This is my mission for each of the players I Cloud Coach, to learn and grow at the speed of change.
Passion and Expertise
- Attacking movements and efficiency to enhance goal/threat impact

“It’s something all top players do, I challenge anyone to find an athlete in the top 1% in their sport who doesn’t study both their game and the greats who came before them, video analysis create a new edge”
Football has become my way of being, the memories I’ve shared, the many lessons learnt, it became clear – I’ve always wanted to belong with the game. As a child, I always dreamt of playing the game at a professional level. After playing University football – my vision changed, I wanted to give back and be a patron to football. My purpose in coaching was to be the coach that I felt I never had. The one who inspires, leads, and builds relationships to give players the confidence to grow and become the best version of themselves.
Ironically, football is like life – everyone sees and feels it in different ways. The spaces that are emerge, the movements that could produce a goal, or the type of pass required to execute a decision. How can we fine-tune our game to recognize and understand these moments of simplicity to create brilliance?
As a Cloud Coach, my discoveries have led me down a path of continual development, because players deserve better coaches. My objectives are clear, heighten your awareness and game intelligence. Our sessions are always individualized to meet your goals. What does an edge in your performance look like? Let’s remove the ceiling and find out.
