Club Coach

Coaching Experience

I have been a Judo Coach of 10 years with experience with Mainstream and Additional Needs players, who in age have ranged from 5 years onwards.

I have spent most of my time coaching at Westerleigh but was given the opportunity to be Assistant Coach at the Special Olympics National Game 2017.

I have also spent a small amount of time coaching at Buckswood School, teaching over 60 youths per session.

Playing Experience

In that time, I have trained with some of the countries best players that have represented Great Britain at the Olympics, Ben Quilter and Ashley McKenzie to name a few.

When I reached my early 20s I started to focus on coaching and helping the next generation of players come through the ranks.
