committed to passing this knowledge on.
Philosophies of Teaching
My beliefs are delivering knowledge precisely at a level where it is needed, clearly understood and appropriate
to specific skill levels, applying the right amount at the right time. My philosophies are based on achieving
what the student needs. In my experience, this constant monitoring and evaluation is a core skill that is
paramount to being a successful coach.

Teaching Style – Art and Knowledge Meeting Science


I have a very logical and simple style built upon many years of experience, conveying information at a level
where it can be easily understood and implemented. Creating a positive learning environment. Using a
combined approach of visual, kinesthetic and auditory learning, coupled with video instruction, launch
monitor and force plate data, and linking these to a range of drills, I am able to quickly assess how differently
people (male, female or juniors) learn and how to get the very best response from them.
