He was a few years back, but the costs involved got a little bit silly.

what you have accomplished is phenomenal. I have tremendous respect for you about successfully mixing fatherhood and a coaching role without losing any of the 2.


Not so long ago I was the one holding back, but it is much more the other way now.
After taking most of this year off from tournaments, he will be doing lots more next year as he is at the top of the Cadet age range and wants to test himself a bit. Hopefully he can stay injury free.
No other coaches though, we just continue to play pretty much every day with a regional session once a week. Still not willing to pay a fortune to get him involved in the England coaching setup, but will probably get him to play British League next year if I can get him a team sorted out.
