PROFILE
I am a hard working, open and honest professional, who thrives from a challenge. Having coached from grassroots through to
first class professionals in four different countries, I have been fortunate enough to have experienced various cultures and
worked with a range of people. This has played an invaluable part in my ability to communicate across all platforms, always
striving to get the best possible result and relationships with colleagues, teammates and students. I pride myself on being a well
organised and patient role model, continually improving as an individual and coach.
