My Coaching Philosophy
My philosophy is to make fencing fun, help the fencer develop and push themselves to areas they didn't know existed, and help them achieve their goals

Extend ability of higher level fencers to compete at their highest level possible from county, to regional, to National and then International level competitions.

Learn from other top coaches at every opportunity

Pass on my coaching and refereeing experience to others to help produce better British Fencers

I have recently Feb24 been selected to be one of the England Coaches for the U14 Squad who competed in the Paris International.

I also a coach educator and run courses for ITCF (L1) and working towards L2 Coach Educator. I am currently taking the L4 Foil course.
