I am a qualified PE teacher and multi-sport coach with a BSc (Hons) in Sport and Exercise Science from Sheffield Hallam University. My primary passion is rugby union coaching, holding an RFU Level 1 Coaching qualification alongside referee and officiating credentials. I have extensive experience coaching rugby across youth and junior age groups, including leading the Under 12 and 13 boys' rugby programmes at Casterton Sedbergh Prep School and delivering residential rugby camps at Sedbergh. Beyond rugby, I hold qualifications in gymnastics, trampoline, tennis, athletics, and hockey, enabling me to deliver a broad PE curriculum. My teaching career spans roles at Mercia School and Silverdale School in Sheffield, where I taught KS3 PE, BTEC Sport, and GCSE/A-Level PE. I have also coached Paralympic badminton athletes during their World Championship preparation. I am committed to developing young people through sport, bringing strong safeguarding awareness, pastoral care experience, and a genuine enthusiasm for creating inclusive, challenging sessions that help every participant reach their potential.

My coaching philosophy is built around inspiring, developing, and connecting with young players both on and off the pitch. I believe sport is not only about performance and results, but also about building confidence, character, discipline, and a lifelong love for the game. Having coached at Sedbergh School and worked within the UR7s programme, I have developed an approach that focuses on creating a positive, energetic, and inclusive environment where every player feels valued and motivated to improve. I aim to make sessions enjoyable, competitive, and challenging while helping players grow technically, tactically, and personally. My goal as a coach is to help young players maximise their potential, develop strong habits, and gain skills that benefit them both in sport and in everyday life. I am passionate about mentoring young athletes, encouraging teamwork and resilience, and creating an environment where players can build confidence, friendships, and ambition. I want to continue developing players on and off the field while contributing to a coaching culture that is exciting, supportive, and inspiring for the next generation.
