“I’ve been a member of London Heathside for about 18 months. I wanted to get involved in coaching because as an athlete I was being coached myself, and I felt I had a good understanding of what people would want from a coach.

I went on the UK Athletics Level 1 course and gained a qualification that enables me to be an assistant coach. I really enjoyed the course; I liked the fact there were quite a few practical activities.

Now I’m using the knowledge and skills I’ve developed helping to coach a group of young Heathside athletes at Finsbury Park. Their ages range between 5 and 16.

I’ve booked up for the Level 2 course, to learn more and so that I’ll be qualified to lead training sessions.
