My passion is football and football coaching. Having played the game since I was 4 years old, going on to play at semi-professional level and in the local Sunday League for twenty years, I picked up many different aspects of player development and coaching.
I am lucky to have two amazing children, one of which is now a 10 year old boy who has the same love for the beautiful game as I do; I am now working with under 11 children at Worksop Boys & Girls Club and assisting other coaches at the club on their development. I am realising a dream of coaching at Grassroots level and helping enhance the positive development of youngsters in the local area, through the Worksop Community Academy I will hopefully offer the chance for many kids to achieve their goals.
As part of my own personal development I am now First Team coach at Frickley Athletic who play in the Evo Stik Premier Division in non league.
I am a UEFA B Coach and have also completed my FA Youth Module 1, 2, 3 and completed my Module 3 assessment. My coaching programme during 2018 will continue to develop and look at being introduced onto my A Licence Badge.
My coaching philosophy will be; irrelevant of age, ability, background, all my courses will provide a safe and supportive environment, and understanding there is more than one way to learn the game.
WE’RE PLAYING FOOTBALL BECAUSE……. WE LOVE THE GAME! |
