Through coaching sport in schools and clubs i want to have a positive impact on the future of children and for them to be the best they can.Being involved in sport/education for 8 years voluntarily and work i have seen how sport has a positive impact on the behaviour of young people. As I writeyoung people are on the streets causing significant damage to other people's lives. I dream that all young people have access to quality out of schools provision not only in sport but other activities that will take them away from crime and also from poor lifestyles (inactivity in front of computers/tv and unhealthy diets). I have acheived a number of qualifications in sport to provide young people with the best coaching I can. I have run 7 Marathons raising over £5000 for charities to give others a chance- Dreams Come True.I hope being a torchbearer will inspire many young people.
