Thea

Coach

From a young age, I have always had a passion for sports, whether through observation, participation, coaching, or academic study; sports have been a central aspect of my life. Having an older brother significantly influenced my sporting journey. My life has been intricately tied to dance since early childhood; I began attending classes at the age of three. Although I initially cried during every single session and required my Dad to join me in the “good toes, naughty toes” exercise and begged him not to leave, I eventually developed a profound love for dance and have never looked back since.

I have spent my entire life in South Yorkshire and have recently graduated from Sheffield Hallam University with a first-class degree in BSc Sports Development with Coaching. I have now commenced my next journey by relocating to Newcastle to pursue a master’s degree in MSc International Sports Management. My Dad grew up here, which certainly gives it a sense of being a second home, even though he controversially supports Sunderland. In my leisure time, I take pleasure in running, walking and dancing, as well as fully embracing the student experience and maximising any time i can with my friends and family.

Throughout the years, I have engaged in a diverse array of employment opportunities, including positions in retail, participation in sporting events such as the 2024 Champions League at Wembley, coaching at primary schools and holiday camps, as well as assisting at my family’s dental practice. I am forever grateful for the opportunity to work for New Generation and eagerly anticipate meeting all of you in the near future.
