My Coaching Philosophy
I believe in tailoring coaching to give students space to explore their own solutions to fencing problems whilst enabling and encouraging creative thinking for specific strategic and tactical fencing situations. In this way athletes are able to develop self discipline and meet challenges head-on with resilience and mental toughness. I aim to foster an environment of healthy competition. Participation in competition affords the student the ability to test and hone their skills with others and crucially grow too. Utimately, my goal is to develop not just fencers, but also individuals who embody the above principles and in the process remain physically fit, and mental healthy.

In order for a coach to show on the register we confirm that they meet *minimum* eligibility standards - in terms of suitable criminal record checks, minimum safeguarding training, and minimum entry level coaching qualifications. For more information on minimum standards please see here.

BF does not currently provide an additional verification process in relation to the other information supplied by coaches which shows above. Coaches can choose to provide as much or as little detail as they wish. However, if you have any concerns in relation to the information a coach is providing on the register you can contact us here.

Coaches are encouraged to work within their qualifications and competencies, and if they don't, they are not insured. For more information click here.

It is a sign of good practice that coaches have updated and recent (last 6 years) British Fencing coaching qualifications and assessments. For more information click here.
