'Inspire the next generation'
Whether it is individual coaching or team / club coaching I can help. I am a Grade 3 Advanced Coach.
I have coached many sports and have specialised in Wheelchair Basketball since 1997. I am Head Coach at Cheshire Phoenix Wheelchair Basketball Club and I was the Wales U19 Coach for the Junior Championships and School Games in 2016 and 2017 and the assistant coach in 2018 and 2019.
As a Coach Tutor for British Wheelchair Basketball I can deliver Young Activators, Leaders, Grade 1 and Grade 2 Coaching Courses. I am happy to come to your club or arrange for you to come to our club for a course. If you are keen to become a Coach or develop your skills just let me know and we can book a date.
If you are already a qualified coach and want some Mentoring I am happy to come and work with you and help you identify ways you can grow your coaching skills.
