I helped develop and care for our athletes mental health and well-being by being available when needed for any advice or a conversation, I also kept in contact with the schools safe guarding officers where appropriate. I organised internal and external trips by booking venues and buses and was responsible for any pupil medication on school trips, including international trips e.g. EPI pens. I was responsible for making race attendance, crew formation and training time decisions highlighting my IT and numeracy skills. My knowledge gained includes the following:- Leadership skills; getting the athletes to listen and perform to the best of their ability- Fast thinking; being able to adapt to different situations and environment- Providing good communication skills and strong clear instructions to all pupils, parents and carers- Good organisational skills; submitting race entry forms and boat allocations, scheduling buses, creating exam training timetable etc. - Creating excel documents and spreadsheets to track data on performance scores/entry fees/membership fees etc. Show less

Lead coach of the junior girls squad at Clydesdale Amateur Rowing Club. This involved organising sessions times, boat allocations, writing training progammes, deciding crews and which races to attend. Communication with athletes, parents and other coaches was vital to a successful season and therefore a huge amount of time was committed to that. I gained valuable team working, personal time management and communication skills during this experience.
