Summary
I'm a passionate and motivated sports coach with relatively rich experience, considering my youth. I have experience in coaching children aged between 5 and 17 years old. Those around me describe me as a driven individual who is determined to set and meet goals. I am extremely eager to develop my knowledge within the teaching environment further, as it will allow me the opportunity to learn new skills.
