How long have you been coaching? 4 years

How did you get into it and why coaching? 

Got into coaching whilst studying at University, I saw that strength and conditioning could have a huge impact on the ability of a player to perform at their best and wanted to pursue it as a career.

I have since worked in elite Pole Vault, elite Rugby League at senior and academy level, elite youth football and tennis at youth level. I have played a key role in the construction of gym based programmes for elite senior athletes and in the implementation of the senior and academy programmes.

Why Lions?

Being able to positively impact the athletic ability of youth athletes is very rewarding and I want to help as many young athletes realise their sporting dreams.
