Coaching Experience I started with a local soccer team in Newcastle helping young players aged between 10 and 13 develop their game and improve on their skills and techniques. I would create season long plans and follow through with the delivery to ensure they are exposed to all techniques for the the crucial developmental stage they are at in Soccer.
Then I came across the opportunity to work for Challenger Sports and the chance to be able to coach in the States and help players overseas. In 2015 I worked for the summer in the Denver region which covers the states of Colorado, New Mexico, Utah and Wyoming. After the summer programmes I then transferred over to the New England region and finished off the fall in Connecticut coaching both recreational and competitive players.
Playing Experience I have been playing soccer for as long as remember. I started to play soccer as soon as I could walk starting off playing out in the streets with friends. I then joined a team at the age of 4 and started playing football for a local team. At the age of 9 I was scouted to play for Newcastle United as well as playing for the school team. With the school we won the County Cup (State) as well as getting to play at numerous soccer stadiums in England as a schoolboy. I then played for my University team for the full length of time I was completing my degree.
