Graduating with a Sport Science Degree from Manchester Metropolitan University, which led to training as Physical Education Teacher and working in St. Peter’s R.C High School, Gloucester. I joined the school that has a legacy for producing top performers, yet not reaching its potential at a national level, so I set about creating a positive culture around S&C with all young athletes. Since then more expertise was employed, until currently where we have an incredible programme led tremendously by our S&C Coach, and consistently performing at a national level. We have developed a curriculum that identifies talent and sets about making them highly literate athletes, whilst giving opportunity to the majority to develop themselves into competent performers. We are serious about education and passionate about unlocking potential where students are not afraid to make mistakes." Nominate future podcast guests here!
