Committed Coach

Story:

I am 25 and the founder of Inspire Girls Football & Chairperson of IGF FC.

I currently hold nine years of coaching experience in USA & UK.

I like to tell myself that I learned about life with a ball at my feet. My passion for football developed from the age of five and even to this day I realised that football was going to play an integral part in my life and future career pathway.

Football has had such a positive influence on my life. It has provided me with a sense of community and confidence that continues to shape my life on and off the pitch. I have an unrivalled desire to contribute to the future sporting careers of athletes and young girls.

“Coaches have what children want — the games they love. They have the power to inspire, influence and change the lives of the ones they coach.“

Reason for nomination:

I have spent countless unpaid years in setting up Inspire Girls Football. My drive and passion continues to push me out of my comfort zone in every aspect of my career & coaching journey.

I feel I could really benefit from this mentor program to help influence the lives of all the hundreds of girls I currently coach. Thank you for your time!
