I have had many experiences throughout my badminton coaching career working with all different levels of player, mainly in Yorkshire where I was based in Harrogate.
During this time I have seen many changes, particularly with scoring systems, which were designed to produce improvements. However, there has been one thing that has always remained the same for me - keeping coaching simple and easy to understand: |
Putting solid foundation and building blocks in place to help young and old athletes reach their full potential.
I have always believed that if you can improve the quality of movement and maintain posture and balance then this will underpin the racquet skills required to become a good player.
My passion as a coach is to help players and fellow coaches alike and I have recently found myself very fortunate to be the Head Coach of the University of Worcester Performance Centre and of the University badminton squad itself.
This has brought a fantastic opportunity for me to help all the young athletes, students and coaches in Worcester and the other surrounding areas such as Herefordshire.
I am also very lucky to have a great coaching team behind me who have bought into my coaching philosophy.
I always expect players and coaches to work hard and focus during every session as every session counts. In return I am always prepared to go that extra mile to help.
