COACHING EXPERIENCE MY FIRST EXPERIENCE OF COACHING WAS ASSISTING A FRIEND WORKING FOR MINI KICKERS IN ENGLAND. I ENJOYED THE EXPERIENCE SO MUCH THAT I DECIDED TO TAKE IT UP ON A REGULAR BASIS. THIS PROMPTED ME TO DEVELOP MY COACHING SKILLS THROUGH MY LEVEL 1 FA COACHING LICENSE. IN PREVIOUS YEARS I TOOK THE RESPONSIBILITY OF COACHING MY LOCAL TEAM WHICH I STILL PLAYED FOR, I FOUND IT BOTH REWARDING AND CHALLENGING TO PLAY AND COACH AT THE SAME TIME. IT

BENEFITED ME TO ANALYSE THE GAME FROM A PLAYING AND COACHING STANDPOINT SIMULTANEOUSLY. I JOINED CHALLENGER SPORTS IN THE SUMMER OF 2014, INITIALLY AS A SUMMER COACH. THE EXPERIENCES I GAINED PROMPTED ME TO RETURN AS A TRAINER COACH IN 2015, FOLLOWING MY WORLDLY TRAVELS. THIS WILL BE MY SECOND YEAR AS A TRAINER WORKING WITH BROOMFIELD SC; WHICH I AM VERY EXCITED TO START AGAIN. I ALSO HAD THE BENEFIT THROUGH MY DEGREE OF WORKING WITH SOME TOP CLASS SOCCER ACADEMIES AND FIRST TEAMS IN THE UK. WORKING ON THE PHYSICAL THERAPY TEAMS OF CHELSEA FC ACADEMY, READING FC ACADEMY AND AFC WIMBLEDON FIRST TEAM. THIS ALLOWED ME AN INSIGHT INTO SOME OF THE COACHING PHILIOSOPHIES INVOLVED AT ELITE LEVEL SOCCER AS WELL AS A MORE CLINICAL BACKGROUND.

PLAYING EXPERIENCE I BEGAN MY PLAYING CAREER AT A LOCAL TEAM, WHICH THE MAJORITY OF MY ELEMENTARY AND HIGH SCHOOL FRIENDS PLAYED FOR. DURING THESE YEARS I WAS SCOUTED BY CRYSTAL PALACE WHEN I WAS 16. I ALSO REPRESENTED MY DISTRICT (BROMLEY), BEING THE LARGEST DISTRICT IN LONDON. HERE I WAS ASKED TO TRIAL FOR MY COUNTY (KENT) FOR WHICH I WAS UNSUCCESSFUL UNFORTUNATELY, HOWEVER, IT ALLOWED ME TO PLAY AT A GOOD LEVEL OF SOCCER, WHICH I FOUND HIGHLY IMPROVED MY GAME AND TAUGHT ME A VALUABLE LESSON: IF YOU PLAY WITH BETTER PLAYERS, YOU CAN CERTAINLY RAISE YOUR OWN GAME.

PERSONAL STATEMENT AS AN INDIVIDUAL I CAN CONFIDENTLY SAY I AM DRIVEN TO ALWAYS IMPROVE MYSELF IN ALL AREAS. I AM ALWAYS LOOKING FOR POSITIVE FEEDBACK TO DEVELOP NOT ONLY MY COACHING TECHNIQUES AND STYLES, BUT IN ALL ASPECTS OF LIVE, INCLUDING COMMUNICATING WITH ALL TYPES OF PEOPLE. I BELIEVE THIS MAKES ME AN ADAPTABLE COACH, WHICH IS THE BEST WAY TO BE. THE LAST YEAR OF MY LIFE HAS DEFINITELY ENHANCED MY PERSONALITY IN THOSE AREAS. I AM VERY MUCH INTERESTED IN ALL AREAS OF COACHING SOCCER, FROM MINIS AND BEING ENERGETIC AND SEEKING A BOND WITH THE SHY AND TENDER CHARACTERS OF THAT AGE GROUP, TO DEVELOPING YOUNG PLAYERS OF THE FUTURE. I THRIVE OFF MAKING IMPROVEMENTS TO YOUNGSTERS WHO REALLY WANT TO LEARN AND DEVELOPING THE PASSION I EXPERIENCE WITH SOCCER. I TRUELY FEEL THIS IS SOMETHING I CAN TRANSFER INTO THE COMMUNITIES OF AMERICA. I AM STRONGLY LOOKING FORWARD TO GIVING MY ALL TO ACHIEVE THIS.
