My love for sport started at a young age in primary school, I knew then I wanted to be a coach and I’m lucky to have done that from the get go, sharing my passion and enjoyment of sport with younger children, bringing people out of their shell and find themselves and their own love and enjoyment for sport is what it is all about and Active Holidays allows children to do exactly that.
