I have coached since I was 16 and in 5 years have gained knowledge not only as coach but as a player as well. I have coached a team from u12 to now u17, and have recently started to help coach Newton Aycliffe Youth Women. I have played football since I was little and been coached by loads of different styles of coaching which has made me unique in the way that I coach as I have brought together all of these different types of coaching. If I’m not coaching or playing football myself, no doubt I’ll be watching football on the TV.

I’ve been coaching now for 10 years and Im passionate about developing players so that they can fulfil their full potential both on and off the pitch. I have recently won the 2022 National Grass Roots Coach of the Year for the work I’ve done with Newton Aycliffe Youth Women. My coaching style revolves around having fun, and I tailor sessions to get the best out of players but with smiles on their faces.
