Please consider me for the tennis coach opportunity. I am including my resume that lists my qualifications and experience. In my previous role, I was responsible for advice and assistance to the Head Coach during the Tennis program athletic events.

Passionate and dedicated sports coach with over 15 years experience coaching rugby and other sports across all levels and a variety of ages and abilities. As an avid and committed sportswoman, I understand the demands of high-level competition and I am passionate about empowering the next generation of female rugby players. As a strong advocate for women's and girls' sport, I am deeply committed to supporting the growth of girls rugby and contributing to the development of talent within the women's game. I am confident planning and delivering technical and tactical sessions, fostering teamwork and through motivational leadership, creating inclusive, high-performance environments to nurture potential.

I am looking for a school where I can join and lead where appropriate a thriving department and bring my extensive knowledge and experience to the role to be the inspiration and motivation in developing a rich varied programme of PE and school sport. My excellent organisational skills and ability to develop and foster good working relationships with staff and students would enable me to lead others and be an integral part of the wider school community. I have been planning and delivering PE from Nursery to Y6 at a range of schools in Brighton, London and Malaysia and I would be able to bring new and innovative ideas to further develop the curriculum and department. I have developed new teaching plans, assessment opportunities, progress trackers, inclusive clubs and many displays and newsletters to celebrate and inspire students' performance.  Planning the extra curricular clubs and competition schedule has always been part of my job and I relish the opportunity to work with colleagues in other schools to provide a range of opportunities for the students. This is how many students improve their confidence and competence in sports and activities and also develop skills for life.. I have organised fixture calendars across my schools and planned and hosted numerous events including, inter-house competitions, sports days, festivals, young leader training and many staff training and professional development sessions. At Nexus I had the opportunity to work in a larger department where I was able   to take the lead and also work independently to build the primary department. This was an excellent   experience for me and has allowed me the opportunity to learn from colleagues as well as  lead training and new initiatives within the department and across the school.  While in Brighton I was the lead teacher for Primary PE across the city and organised and led   both sport specific and PE curriculum development training for new and experienced teachers. Trainee teachers from the university were often sent on placement to observe and discuss the   way in which I had written and delivered the PE curriculum and also how my school used PE to impact other areas of the children’s learning.  

I'm a dedicated individual with 30 years of experience in sports coaching and working with children. I particularly love focusing on the education and development of children and take pride in giving them the skills not only to succeed on the sports field but also in every day life. My passion for sport shines through my long term commitment nurturing young athletes. I am an adaptable, professional and devoted team player with a competitive, goal driven outlook on sport. I am also ambitious, driven and committed to my personal development and am constantly pushing myself to improve as a coach be it through slef evaluation or profession CPD.

In my experiences I have been able to work in some challenging environments with some inspiring teachers that have helped me in deciding what the best career is. One of these examples was when I was a PE teaching assistant in a school in London, through this I was able to gain valuable experience and observe some of the best adaptive and EAL teaching as the community surrounding the school was predominantly a South Asian community. In my role at the school, I worked alongside a PE specialist who led the delivery of PE throughout the school, it was a four-form entry state school so being organised and working well as a team was fundamental to success. In the delivery of the lessons, I was able to first assist and observe then go onto to lead sessions in age groups ranging from five to eleven in different skills and sports. With this I also took on after school clubs and took children to competitions in the local area and the main highlight being a first girls football competition where despite limited experience and training, they were able to win a match. This then led to more enthusiasm for girls’ competition and more signing up to the after-school clubs. In addition to these experiences, I have been able to work in wraparound care within a primary school setting where I was able to interact with children and run games and interact with parents daily. I have experience in holiday camps where again I was fully engaged with running activities for primary school children and having clear boundaries on behaviour. Throughout these experiences I have been able to build up a strong variety of sports and activities and how they can be made engaging and how also non-traditional sports can be turned into something that would still achieve your session and lesson objectives. Sport and physical activity play a big part in my life as I am a keen follower and participant in cricket. I also am a long-distance runner and in 2024 I am going to take part in a half marathon. I follow football, rugby, tennis, and I gain enjoyment out of them as they are a nice escape and it is always fascinating to see the different techniques, tactics and challenges they must get through.
