I am both a coach and a coach educator with an extensive background in working with skiers at all levels, from those who simply want to reach their potential as a recreational skier to those who seek success at an international level.

​

I am utilised by clubs, organisations and national governing bodies as a coach, coach educator and consultant.

​

My understanding of the function and design of ski equipment, coupled with my understanding of the physics, mechanics and physiology of skiing allows the me to understand my skiers as a 'system', not just as a skier.

​

• I am qualified and appointed as an examiner of ski instructors in the U.K. and the U.S.A and as a coach in the U.K, and the Netherlands.

• I have, for the last 10 years delivered Snowsport England’s tutor training - both preparing course materials and delivering courses. I hold honorary life membership of Snowsport England.

• As a member of the Commission for the Examination and Education of Ski Instructors I am part of the international expert group which reviews and sets standards for ski instructors.
