Coaching Experience :

I currently have a Level 4 Middle and Long Distance Accreditation and a Level 2 Jumps Accreditation with the ATFCA and Athletics Australia. 

 

In 2014 I have been Head Coach of the Queensland Heat Cross Country Team at the National Championships. I also Coached the Queensland Country West U14 Futsal Team to the National Championships in September 2014 and U13 Team January 2015. I have coached various teams across many sports whilst I taught at St Ursula's College including the College Football Team from 2010-2013 which included a successful tour to the UK in 2013.

 

In 2007 I was named a Queensland Secondary Cross Country Manager, and in 2005 I was appointed as a Middle Distance coach for the Queensland Pacific Schools Games Team which was a surprise and an honour for my first Queensland appointment. 

 

I have been coaching regional and state level athletes for the past 22 years in the Toowoomba area, and throughout the South West Region during my time in Roma.  In 2007 I was appointed General manager of the Queensland Secondary schools Cross Country Team and Coach to the Pacific School Games Team for 2008.
