I am 34 years old and I have been coaching for over 8
years. Previously I was Regional
Education Co-Coordinator for the British Coaches Association. My
qualifications include ASA Tutor, ASA Club Coach and ASA Coach (level
4). I have been an ASA Tutor for 3 years. I am starting a degree in
Education leading to a Cert. Ed. and subsequently a BA in Education.
I have successfully coached 2 swimmers holding British records in Masters
swimming and was involved in the Integration of pentathlon, tri and Biathlon
swimming programme. Was part of the introduction of land training and the
development and monitoring of 200 swimmers at swim skill level, introduction
and the management of volunteers.
I've been with the Gallica team since October 2005 and during my first
year at Gallica my achievements included training
swimmers to 1 gold and 2 bronze medals and numerous finalists at
National level. I have seen the coastal group grow in numbers and
am proud of the success and improvement across the whole group.
I gained achievements as a polo player in the National league for Lancaster.
Coaching honours include "Coach of the Year" in the Ribble Valley
2004/05. Coaching influences are Bill Furness and Doc Councilman. My important
qualities are that I have drive and passion.
My Best Swimmers of all time have to be Janet Evans and Alex Popov.
My ambition is to achieve a degree in
Sports Science, to be respected by my peers and collegues at all levels in the
sport and to provide a great professional base for all athletes in Coastal
group.
