My name is Jack, and I have been part of Athletics Academy since 2021. I was born in England, where I studied Sports Coaching at both college and university before training to become a secondary PE teacher. After completing my studies, I moved to the UAE and have now been working here for the past six years as a Head of PE Department.

Sport has always been a huge passion of mine, and I love inspiring pupils of all ages to develop the same enthusiasm for physical activity, teamwork, and personal growth. The values at Athletics Academy align closely with my own, determination, grit, passion, and excellence. These qualities play such an important role in sport and in life, and it is incredibly rewarding to help develop them in young people across Abu Dhabi.

During my time at Athletics Academy, I have delivered a wide range of sessions and events, from athletics on Hudayriyat Island to triathlon sessions on the Yas Marina F1 Track. I am now based at the Yasmina site, where I deliver athletics sessions every Tuesday and Sunday.

Athletics Academy truly feels like my second family. I absolutely love being part of the team, enjoy every moment of working with the students, and look forward to continuing for many years to come.
