My Coaching Philosophy
My coaching Philosophy is that we should be constantly learning from all fields of the sport and learning from all environments based on total inclusivity from beginner level all the way to high performance athletes.

I am currently British Fencings lead Paralympic Performance Coach having lead the Team successfully in the Paris 2024 Games.

I am also one of the founders and coaches of Bristol Blades Fencing Club where we focus on being a community based inclusive club promoting the sport locally and inspiring the future fencing community, from the grass roots upwards from delivering school and community sessions to providing elite level coaching to GB squad fencers. In 2020 we were named British Fencings community club of the year. At Bristol Blades we are passionate about being an inclusive club providing sessions for Bristols specialist learning disability schools and we have just formed a partnership with Access Sport Bristol to help us deliver to our Disabled community in Bristol.

To date over the last 25 plus years of coaching I have worked with fencers in all age groups and categories from Under 10 County Champions to Senior National Champions, Olympic athletes and Paralympic champions. Over my time in the sport I have been involved with and worked with many of the Great Britain Squads from the U17s to a Senior level in both the Olympic and Paralympic disciplines.

I am Innovative, Emphatic and Dedicated.
I have a willingness to constantly learn and adapt to new ideas.
I am able to be emphatic to different athlete’s situations and needs.
I am driven and willing to put myself in positions outside of my comfort zone. This is something I believe is a key skill for coaches as it is something we should strive to encourage in our athletes.
