I am dedicated to developing young players’ skills, understanding, and passion for the game. I lead training sessions, focusing on technical and tactical aspects suited to players from U/14 to U/19, ensuring their growth in a structured and supportive environment. Utilising the school's state-of-the-art indoor facilities, I aim to cultivate a positive learning atmosphere, encouraging teamwork, discipline, and resilience. My role includes creating session plans, managing team selections, and fostering each player's potential, preparing them for competition and instilling a lifelong appreciation for cricket.

Several parents and colleagues have contacted me to thank me in this regard.I have successfully developed a sport program within a limited timeframe, resulting in the acquisition of necessary equipment and the initiation of competitive matches, marking a significant enhancement in the school's engagement with physical activity and sports.

Over 4 years I ensured the growth of sport in the Preparatory School, helping all students achieve their personal best. I designed and implemented an inclusive Physical Education programme using the latest methodologies and equipment. I also managed and coached sporting codes across various age groups ensuring both participation and excellence.

I was able to collaborate effectively within the sports department, leading to my promotion.I also contributed to the extra curricular program by coaching cricket, rugby, football, and assisting in a variety of other sporting codes including hockey, netball, swimming and softball.
