Hi! My name is Josh and I’m a coach for Socatots and Progressive Sports, and I have been working for them for the last 3 years.
From the young age of 15 I have been coaching and found it to be incredibly rewarding coaching groups of young people in hockey (one of my favourite sports!). When I joined college, I branched into other sports and started my career.
I enjoy coaching Socatots because I get to work with different age groups throughout the morning, watch them take part in the various activities I have shown them and see them smile and laugh when they are enjoying the sessions!
Over the last 3 years I have gained experience through completing my Levels 2 and 3 in Sports Coaching, alongside Mental Health and Wellbeing training and a Level 2 in Multi Sports. Through working with young children across Staffordshire in nurseries and schools alike, I have been able to gain experience on the ground with lots of different age ranges and seen first-hand how creative children can be during the activities.
Come and see me on Saturday mornings at Erasmus Darwin Academy Socatots, it would be great to see you there!
