The role of the Regional Talent Coach (RTC) is to support these pathways by identifying, developing and mentoring the coaches that deliver the programmes and who are at the core of the development of the athletes. Alongside this, the RTC’s remit is to identify and develop talented athletes.

I started my coaching career, coaching Junior Club netball and then County squads. I have been involved in the Regional Talent programme for around 6 years both as an administrator/coordinator and more recently as Head Coach of the Regional Talent Development Squad and Assistant Coach to the West Midlands Warriors National Talent League Squad.

I have also worked in the Warwickshire area as Netball Development Officer and in the past, I have represented my region as well as playing in the National League and I continue to play regional and local league netball for Henley Netball Club.
