I arrived at THA with the lowest confidence towards coaching I had ever faced throughout my 3 years at university. They had offered me a chance to coach with them as apart of my University degree in Sports Coaching as a placement coach.
I had lost motivation, was struggling to keep myself focused with something that I had wanted to do since I was a young teenager. I was welcomed with open arms at THA, who promised to provide me with the help and support to get me to my hidden coaching potential that I didn’t think I could achieve.
After a tough start to life at THA, lacking the motivation and drive they needed, I found myself in a tough place, where all I needed was some tough love and an eye opening to kick start my coaching life once and for all. I gradually excelled my ability, growing in confidence and putting all my effort into making sure I gave back to the THA family what they gave to me: Effort, hard work, and support when needed.
Now I’m a lead coach for the 8-11 group, something I can be really proud of. Being able to coach my own group and watch these players grow the THA way: “The All Rounded Player” is nothing but special towards my coaching achievements. I can’t thank everyone associated with THA enough for supporting me and helping me get to where I am now.
These opportunities have helped me grow as a coach and have helped me gain the knowledge, confidence and experience to excel further, even expanding my coaching journey into coaching a football team.
If you’re looking to grow as a coach, learn new skills, and work with some fantastic people, there’s nothing like THA to help you achieve just that.
