What classes or sports do you coach?
Football
What made you want to become a coach?
I’ve always enjoyed playing sports and wanted to share my experiences and passion with younger children. Coaching felt like a great way to help them discover new skills, build confidence and enjoy sport just as much as I do.
What’s your favourite thing about being a coach?
The children! They can put a smile on your face first thing in the morning and give you a good laugh at any time of day. They make my job so enjoyable that I never dread coming to work!
What’s your top tip for aspiring athletes?
Minimum requirements, maximum effort! Give everything your best shot and see what you can achieve.
Tell us something unique about yourself!
I’ve played SWPL 2 football with Livingston WFC, and I’m heading to university to study Prosthetics and Orthotics!
