Ryan Shenton, apprentice coach at little sports coaching, tells us why he wanted a career in sports coaching and why others should consider it too.
What inspired you to go into coaching?

What attracted you to LSC?

I was also attracted by how friendly and welcoming everybody was when I first met them on my first visit to the office.”
What advice would you give about doing an apprenticeship?
” The advice I would give anybody about doing an apprenticeship is DO IT there is nothing better than gaining qualifications to make you better as a person and a coach while also learning and improving from watching the other coaches on the job.”
