I decided to study a Master of Sports Coaching as I want to help other athletes who have the same dream as me – to compete at the Paralympics.

I plan to continue as a high performance athlete into LA 2028 Paralympics and during this time I want to build up my coaching skills to then transition from part time coach to full time coach. By having financial support it means it will make that transition easier. It will also allow me to focus on my own training and my coaching without needing to feel like I can't fully commit to either.

This course will help my development due to the wide range of subject it offers and enable me to see all aspects with both lenses, as a current athlete, and as a coach. It will unlock my potential to win well in sport and life by giving me the best opportunity I have to develop future Paralympians. Not only do I have personal experience but by studying I will gain a professional skillset that hopefully the world will want to follow - that's how good I hope to be at it!
