To develop children in their hockey to the best they can be or to share my passion with young people who want to engage in a new sport they have never done before!
Having worked in over 10 schools across Hertfordshire; that being independant, to home schooling and public schools , including Haileybury, Heathmount and Herts&Essex school. I found a true passion in coaching. With hockey being a sport I have played for over 10 years and coached for more than 5 years. I thought what better way to put two and two together and coach hockey to children all around the world.
The experience I entail is going from grass root hockey, to travelling with the children to different schools for matches; umpiring, managing teams. Directing and coaching hockey specific sessions, whether that be at an independant or home school environment.
Now I am reaching out to schools for me to share this opportunity to coach this incredible sport with high quality coaching (Level 4 sport coach qualified as well as a Level 1 England Hockey coach).
Lets give our new generation a chance.
Why hockey?
Experiences:
During my time at Haileybury Summer School, I found that the children were super engaged because of the fact it wasn't a common sport in their country, so it was a sport that was NEW for them to try. This enabled them to be inspired to learn more, bringing on their development quicker, some children even said when they go home they shall play it again! What better way to release some energy, to take their mind off the busyness of summer school, so that they can enjoy a sport coached with passion?
And even when doing my own Saturday out of season sessions and coaching home school children, I find that they are thrilled to come as they get to carry on playing the sport they love whilst learning new skills every session. And the best thing about hockey is that it can be played anywhere! So why not incorporate it into a potential lunch time club, an afterschool club? Lets get young people feeling good again!
Exciting, unique and transferable:
Hockey is one of the most inspiring and energetic games in the world and whoever plays it will fall in love with it. Even the football players! The best thing about hockey is that if your good at another sport, e.g: Tennis or football, you can transfer those skills into the world of hockey.
This sport gives a young person the ability to better their teamwork, communication skills, decision making and their skill proficiency. Hockey is an exhilarating and fast paced game, leaving young people excited for more!
