Get to know the newest addition to the No.6 teamā¦
From a young age I was thrust into sport, with both my parents having a love for running. This ultimately led me into cross country running, which, in all honesty, wasnāt very likeable. I later discovered rugby union through my older brother, and as soon as I saw the game I fell in love with it and signed up by the age of 11. I continue to play to this day.
Later in life I found a fondness for all sorts of activities, spending a lot of my summers in Cornwall surfing with my brother and cliff jumping. In my older years I developed a love for the anatomy of the human body and the gym, spending most of my days training and experimenting with various forms of training. This, paired with my love of rugby, opened up my interest in various career pathways.
At 18 I attended Keele University, where I studied Exercise Rehabilitation and Sports Science, with the intention of going on to master physiotherapy. This choice came from my mother suffering numerous seizures in a single day, which led to her breaking her back and damaging her spinal cord. During this time she was in a spinal rehabilitation ward, and seeing the incredible work of the physiotherapists, exercise rehabilitation workers and various other specialists opened my eyes to how much I wanted to help others.
While at university I played for the university team, and this, paired with my course, only strengthened my desire to help others achieve their goals.
When I saw the application for a strength coach role at No6, I thought to myself: I love training and teaching others the knowledge Iāve gained, so why wouldnāt I put that love to work helping others?
Iām a big advocate for constant improvement. Iāll always give 110% in everything I do, and thatās exactly the same with coaching. Thereās always that extra 1% we can give, and thatās what I try to bring every single day ā whether thatās helping you hit your goals or making sure you leave with a smile on your face.
