Why I do my job

Being a sports coach, I have a passion for helping individuals discover their strengths and potential through sport, as well as developing connections with friends and bringing a sense of community through my work.

I find it very rewarding to see a child light up with the joy of learning and improving new skills or achieving a personal best. I love teaching the fundamentals of sports, not just the techniques but also instilling the values of teamwork, resilience and respect.

Each day my job shows me the impact I have that can shape any individual and create an environment that lets children and adults enjoy sports and become more confident and compassionate.
