Over the last 15 years I have been on a journey that has taught me so much about myself and coaching. Whilst I am ultimately proud of the achievements I have been a part of with my athletes, club and team GB, it is that journey, the people I have met, and the experiences and memories made that I will never forget. My club, South Essex GC, my colleagues and British Gymnastics have been an amazing support network. The team is integral in any mission.

Over the years I have grown as an individual and as a coach, and have developed my values and fundamentals that I believe to be integral to the successes I have been associated with. As Director of Coaching at South Essex G.C I have already begun succession planning and developing the next generation of coaches, and have found myself motivated by others developments and achievements.

Passing on experiences and knowledge to better others has become an important part of my career, and I am enjoying helping people develop further. At present I am proud to be working with several coaches, including some from Scottish Gymnastics, mentoring and advising them on their journey.

The best investment you can make is in yourself.
