Why do I coach? – Within a sports context, I am primarily focussed on making positive change by developing physical & mental robustness, technical proficiency & understanding for the sport tactically.  Importantly there is a large life skills component which remains a priority for me. Helping young people develop behaviours and habits of excellence. Be appreciative, respectful, resourceful, a problem solver, resilient and live those values in the context of sport, relationships, career and life in general.
