I’m an assistant coach to the England Training Centre based here at Badminton Wycombe and I’m happy to help anyone who wants to improve their badminton, at any age. After being coached by many of the top coaches, and travelling to Canada multiple times with Nathan Robertson (Olympic Silver Medallist) to coach, I have gained experience and have become passionate about helping others achieve their potential using an up-to-date knowledge of the game we all love.
I have represented my country from the age of 11 through the Junior ranks, including appearances at the Commonwealth Youth Games, World Junior Championships and European Junior Championships all at the U19 level in 2008/9 and World University Badminton Championships in 2012. I joined the National Squad in 2012 and spent two years training with the best that England could offer and learning from the National Coaches. I have beaten a world top 25 pair in Men’s Doubles, competed against Lee Young Dae (Olympic Gold Medallist and World No.1), won the silver medal at the England National championships 2015 in Mixed Doubles and I still enjoy competing for County. I look forward to using the experience I've gained to improve any player’s game.
