AT Sports Coaching

Hi there. My name is Alex Teasdale, and I have been coaching sports for over 10 years, and am an England Hockey qualified level 2 coach.

I began coaching hockey in 1996 as a junior, and took my first coaching qualification in 1998. I studied Sports Development at University in Cheltenham.

I began coaching full time after graduating, and since them I have coached in a variety of schools, universities, clubs and  with individuals

During my time coaching, I have coached many sports including football and swimming, and I am also a qualified Fencing Instructor.

My past coaching work includes implementation of hockey in primary and secondary schools, state and private, head coach of a London University Ladies section, and more recently I am head coach of a local club side of 5 ladies teams, and their junior section over 150 children.

In December 2006 I was lucky enough to begin working with England Hockey, and have recently become a Project Officer.

My coaching work continues around my "day job", and I can been seen on an astroturf most evenings and weekends. I also play National League Hockey for Staines.
