Coach Jacob

Background

Born and raised in England, Coach Jacob played a wide variety of sports. Representing his country in Volleyball. Thereafter, spending 5 years at the University of Essex to achieve his academic goals but to further his athletic ability.

Coaching Style

During my sessions I always try to create a fun, educational and interactive environment where the children can develop as athletes and also as people. 

I have played sport my entire life, I know how much of an impact sport has had on me and that was due to the coaches. Sports has played a massive part in my life, allowing me to travel to many places and enabling me to pursue a University Education.

I believe that getting kids moving and involved within sports builds the foundations for healthier and fuller lifestyles in the future.
