As one of the Community Coaches, I was responsible for running the Satellites Hubs and Clubs (SHaC) program in schools across West London. The role involved working closely with teachers and students to encourage rowing participation indoors and on the water. The annual expansion of the program's targets is significant and consequently I worked closely with various London borough councils and sports units to engage new schools.As a part of the London Youth Rowing team I have experience organising and setting up indoor sports events. We are responsible for hosting the largest indoor rowing competition in the world, the National Junior Indoor Rowing Championships. While this is an exceptionally large operation, the SHaC program requires set up of small to medium sized events on a regular basis, which are usually run as part of a small team or solo.This position involved daily coaching duties, collaborating with London Youth Rowing lead coaches at the University of London Boathouse and Thames Rowing Club to contribute to their respective junior performance groups.
