Education & Skills

Hi I’m Becky and I joined Sport 4 Life in September 2023 after previously working as a sports and dance teacher in a primary school. Before I started teaching, I attended a performing arts school where I studied dance. Whilst attending BOA I was fortunate enough to dance at many events including Wireless Festival and Free Radio Live. After attending BOA I knew I wanted to pass my skills on and get into teaching and that’s exactly what I did. After working in schools for 9 years I felt like it was the right time to move on and that’s where I found Sport 4 Life.

I decided to join Sport 4 Life as their values really stood out to me. Due to my previous job, it is my passion to help young people fulfil their full potential and that’s exactly what Sport4Life does.  I am really looking forward to getting stuck into my role as an education and skills trainer to pass on the skills and knowledge I have learned over the years of being a teacher.

A fun fact about me is that I used to do ballroom and Latin dancing and was 3rd  in the country in my category.

My Journey, I started working for Sport 4 Life from October 2022, it started off with me beginning as A casual coach, I loved this role as it allowed me to chase my dream, of making the world a better place through Sport ( For Me Coaching and Converting Participants to Thee Arsenal) , I love coaching, seeing the impacts of how sports can open doors and break barriers, across different roads, Months Later I was given an opportunity to have a bigger impact, through sports, in ways that, I never thought about. This eye-opening experience, reignited the flame inside. 

I am now A Sports Trainer for Sport 4 Life I really excited to contribute and do my part in making the world a better place through the power of sport. This is a dream mine which, Sport 4 Life have given me an opportunity to have a larger impact, coaching young people and encouraging them to find the impact on the world, in a way they would be proud of. Everyone Should have the chance to reach for as many stars as they possibly can.

Greetings Everyone! I’m Jules and I’m happy to say I work for Sport 4 Life. I joined the organisation in December 2023.

After being a Team Leader for the NCS waves in Autumn where I initially started working with young people, the role was really rewarding seeing young people trigger positive changes in their lives.

I have always had a passion for Sports: I began by coaching a men’s football team, which then led me to become a Personal Trainer and shortly after Assistant Manager. During Lockdown, I upskilled myself further by becoming a Level 3 Sports Therapist. Fitness and Wellbeing are two of my passions, and it is great to be able to work in a job that combines them both and allows me to share my knowledge and help others feel supported.

I am happy I joined Sport 4 Life, as their Team values strongly align with my own. I believe all young people have the potential to be something great and deserve the opportunity to succeed. With the right guidance, skillset and motivation, everyone can reach their goals and I am honoured to be supporting and guiding our young people on their unique journeys to success and happiness.

I really enjoy working with young people, this has always been my passion. I have a background in performing arts (dance and drama) and became a dance teacher while I was in college. I grew up in Birmingham in a community rich with culture and religion and despite how different we all were, that sense of community and family was very important to us. This is a value I bring with me in my youth work. My aim is to ensure that every young person has equal opportunities and can access the help and support they need, no matter age, race, religion, gender or sexuality.

I decided to join Sport4Life as I wanted to take the next step in my career in youth work. I always aim to develop myself and further my experience, Sport4Life provides a great opportunity for personal development and pushing myself as well as allowing me to do what I love- helping young people become the best versions of themselves.

I joined Sport4Life in October 2021, in fact I Found out that I had got the job on my birthday!

As a young person, I had to deal with a lot of issues, particularly with my mental health. I grew up in a place where there weren’t many opportunities for young people, girls in particular. There was a lot of violence and gang related crime around and it was easy for young people to be influenced by this. My passion for working with young people has come from my own experiences as a child/ teenager. I wished that I had more access to help, support and opportunities. So it is now so important to me that I can help to provide this for young people now and be someone who can relate and understand issues they may be facing. I want to be a friendly face!

I enjoy seeing young people achieve great things after being able to support them! It gives me a great sense of achievement and I enjoy the positivity I can bring to people’s lives through my job. But I also enjoy having a place to work where I can feel comfortable and work in a way that is good for me, it helps me to provide a good service.

A fun fact about me: I have been an extra on the BBC day time programme ‘Doctors’.
