About me
I decided to begin my coaching journey over 8 years ago and have loved every process. I have increased my learning by attending FA and UEFA accredited courses and establishing links with affiliated coaches and viewing their sessions. My heightened learning comes from reading various sports coaching biographies and sports psychology books.
I am a great believer of guided discovery which allows players to trial, experiment and learn through their own mistakes with occasional ‘controlled’ assistance. Creating a ‘deep learning practice zone’ is vitally important to me. An environment with constant repetitive practices with high tempo allows new techniques, skills and decisions to become subconscious.
Philosophies
Making sure we all respect one another. We listen, we share ideas and install the same values and disciplines associated with being in the public eye.
Create fun and stimulating practices.
Encourage players to make mistakes during practices or games as this will help them develop solutions when faced in similar situations.
Praise those who attempt to be creative without fear of failure.
Praise those who are persistent in executing new skills and techniques.
