- Date Joined: 24th July 2018
As an immensely dedicated and innovative teacher within the further education sector, I have ensured that I have provided good quality teaching in both theory and practical based environments to a broad range of ages and abilities. As a graduate from Huddersfield University I have undertaken various teaching and coaching placements which have enabled me not to just develop my teaching/coaching skills but develop lots of transferable skills in a demanding sector. I have maintained a very strong worth ethic throughout my studies and career always striving for self improvement and development.
I am currently Junior Football Development Co-Ordinator at a North West grassroots club, this role is has very wide and diverse roles within itself. The role oversees the development of players and coaches from U6 through to U16. It has involved lots of mentoring with coaches and on the ground coaching to support players who we are looking to develop to go on and play for our 1st team. Managing staff has been a key part of my role, ensuring that they are working alongside the clubs philosophy as well as mentoring them with their own coaching aspirations.
