I am a Northumbria University graduate and current sports coaching practitioner operating within the academy system at Newcastle United. Having previously played for the club I took up an initial coaching role in 2008, combining studies with employment. Initially working within the clubs foundation I progressed into working within the development centre set up subsequently leading to a role within the Academy system in 2012. I intend to be a research informed practitioner with a particular interest in high performance coaching, coach pedagogy and practice design. I am currently a Graduate Tutor at Northumbria University, combining doctoral studies with teaching on the undergraduate Sports Coaching degree.
I am currently investigating how the coaching philosophy of academy coaches is operationalised through coach pedagogy and the impact this has upon performance outcomes from practice. A specific focus is placed upon the cognitive processes adopted by coaches in the organisation of practice activities to meet specific physiological and technical performance outcomes.
