Throughout my life, I've been very fortunate to be involved in a wide range of sports. Some have just been for fun, while others have been at Elite level and (quite literally) life consuming!

Regardless of level, all these sports have given me a real sense of belonging, incredible camarederie, a special bond, built some life-long friendships and led to an active, healthy, but above all, very enjoyable lifestyle.

Something that's always stayed with me:
"In modern coaching, success is achieved when the coach, as an expert facilitator, removes any interference that blocks the potential of the player which in turn encourages the player's creativity, exploration and self-belief. In this coaching model the player becomes the energy source, which not only never drys up, but ends up igniting the passion of everyone around them."

As a firm believer in 'developing people through sport', my coaching sessions are a blend of embedding core values, improving skills, understanding the game, but above all else, having fun and enjoying playing sport.

Thanks for visiting!

Coaching Philosophy

"It's all about the P L A Y E R S!

P L
Player-led. It's their game after all, so we, as coaches, need to cater to their wants and needs.

A
Approachable. The players know they can speak to me about anything, whether directly, via a co-coach, via the Leadershp Group, however they want. Their opinions/thoughts are reated seriously and discussed openly with them and taken on board.

Y
whY. We always come back to the Why. Why do I coach? Why do I coach the way I coach? Why do I coach who I coach? Why..?

E
Empowering / Enjoyable / Equitable. Empower the players to take ownership and feel valued. It has to be enjoyable (for the players and the coaches! We to be fair!
