I have been a PE teacher, coach, coach educator and academic for over 30 years. I am passionate about how we can use sport and physical activity to support the development of young people, whatever their goals in life. My current work involves me supporting schools, sports academies, professional sports clubs and private education organisations to reorganise and realign their work in order to provide positive outcomes for their staff, students and athletes.
