Summary

I am frequently described as easy to get along with, confident, charismatic and vocal. I pride myself on being kind, respectful, and polite to those around me, whether they are friends, family, or strangers. As a grass roots junior football club manager who was considerably younger, I developed the ability to listen to but also respect my elders and peers. However, I also recognized that there was much to be gained from those with more experience in order to develop into a more effective leader. Additionally, I developed into a more reliable and trustworthy individual as an assistant manager, whom the players were willing to confront regarding their personal issues and perspectives. As a result I’m now recognised for my strong leadership, excellent communication skills, and a commitment to continuous improvement while also being reliable and having a strong work ethic.
