Qualifications
Level 1 Coaching assistant - October 2016
Trainiee Level 1 Official - Track Judge

Summary:
I used to play rugby to keep myself active. In January 2015 a friend suggested I try athletics as there was a lower chance of injury. I started to train with RAF Cosford AC. It was enjoyable so I tried a few different events at local competitions and found them enjoyable too.
I like 60m, 100m, 150m and 200m sprints but will try other events to keep things varied. As you can only be unattached from a club for a year, I registered with Notts AC in February 2016 as RAF Cosford AC isn’t affiliated with England Athletics. I was still training with RAF Cosford AC but was now able to enter more competitions.
In October 2016 I completed the Coaching Assistant course so I could take a more active role at RAF Cosford AC. Helping coaches Stu Benson and Sarah Benson RAF Cosford AC won the RAF Presidents Cup in May 2017 and in June 2017 the RAF Cosford AC men’s team won the RAF Championships 2017. In 2018 my job moved me out of the midlands and in June 2018 I started to train with West Norfolk AC. In September 2018 I tried my fist pentathlon. It was great to do and I’m looking forward to trying more combined events.
