CAREER

My football career took a backseat as I pursued studies and a career in the Social work area. I have worked with teenagers and families for twenty years, while also continuing to coach goalkeepers. This has given me specialist skills in getting the best out of 'challenging' kids as well as being conscious of where even the elite player's game fits in the context of his or her wider life and environment.

Some of the individual keepers I have coached for regular periods over the last few years include:

:: Erin Herd - Australian girls all schools team, Young Matildas Train on squad member, 3 national titles

:: Carly Young - Northern NSW keeper 2 national titles

:: Jim Fogerty - Northern NSW, NSWIS holder, Australian Under 17 squad member, 2 national titles

:: Kelly Archibald - Australian girls all schools team shadow keeper (Yr 10), Northern NSW keeper 2 national titles

PLAYER HISTORY

:: NSW Schoolboys 1983 & 84
