Voluntary Basketball coach

Calderdale Explorers

I started playing basketball where i was quickly selected to play for Yorkshire and had a passion for this sport. I then was asked if i wanted to help assist coaching for my original club. I took this fantastic opportunity as i loved the sport and wanted to help others enjoy a sport i enjoyed. As part of this i also completed my learning hours as part of my Duke of Edinburgh award. One of the role i had was warming the children up, giving them clear instructions. I was able to build close relationships with players and their families, i was able to co-ordinate practice schedules to maximise skills to develop individuals on and off the court. I was able to implement diverse training drills and adapt these where needed. I was heavily involved in assisting children with additional needs and would adapt how i delivered some drills to ensure my sessions remained inclusive and that no one was left behind in the learning process. I was really encouraging and the kids found this as a positive as i was approachable and if a child was unsure about something they would come and ask and feel comfortable doing this.

One of the other things i would assist in is ensuring that play was safety was adhered too to minimise risk of injuries.

I took part in fundraising event which was great for the children as they enjoyed bringing money in for the club by doing a sport that they enjoy as well as keeping them fit, building friendships and having a great sports man ship.

Skills

I believe i have the right skills for the job as I am a great communicator as well as having excellent listening skills, this was demonstrated in my previous work experience where i would greet customers with a friendly smile, deal with bookings and cancellations, taking orders for food and drink and also dealing with complex situations whilst still remaining calm under pressure I am able to communicate well via phone, email and face to face I believe a receptionist is the first person you see when you go into a surgery and believe that this is really important that a high level of communication is given, you are approachable, compassionate and understanding whilst also dealing with the query that has been presented

I have fantastic time management skills and pride myself on my working ability and work well with others too I have worked and supported children with Autism and also on a personal level as my brother is autistic and i feel that this is an asset i can bring to a job as i believe this has taught me to remain patient and the ability to remain calm in stressful situations This has also been shown in my previous employment as i have personally had to deal with complaints and have had to defuse the situation whilst remaining calm and professional at all times

Another strength i have is being computer literate, this has been demonstrated at university and also using computers at my previous employment I am a quick learning but equally i am able to ask for support if i feel this is needed
