We are extremely proud of Coach Tommy! Coach Tommy has just received the news that he has passed and gained his Diploma in Sports Coaching Fitness Development.
Tommy can be seen regularly at our Tonbridge Community Youth & Rookies sessions. Tommy is evidence of the success of our Community programmes and shows what these programmes can lead young people on to doing. Tommy has never boxed competitively, but has progressed through our programmes. Since attending our Safer Kent Youth programme Tommy decided that coaching other young people to better themselves and stay clear of trouble is what he wanted to do. He started studying his diploma at college and came on board with us to gain his work experience. He showed tremendous enthusiasm in learning his craft of delivering and coaching boxing. Tommy has built a great rapport with the young people and is proving to be a great role model proving if you follow your dreams and engage in sport you can go on to do great things!
Tommy has already gained his GB Boxing Tutor and BOX Instructor leadership qualification already. He is now looking forward to completing his Level 1 England Boxing Coaching qualification. In September he will be joining the team on more of a permanent basis, by becoming a coach deliverer in our school programmes also.
Well done Coach Tommy!
