Athletics was, and still is my passion. When younger I competed at District, County and Regional levels. Unfortunately injury put a stop to me furthering what could’ve been a National career, falling into two rabbit holes, one after another put paid to that!  Since then I’ve trained and kept fit whenever my body allowed! Power walking is my love now, over the fields with the dogs off I go.

Nowadays I have a passion for coaching and showing children how much fun PE and sport can be.  An active child is a happy child is my mantra when it comes to coaching at the club and teaching PE at Cokethorpe school.

Athletics is the most all round activity a person can do, it encompasses every movement required to be fit and healthy and empowering children with that knowledge is very important to me
