Darren Coward
Darren has worked in education for the last 8 years teaching athletes and students the knowledge required to excel in sport. While doing the England Boxing Level 2 qualification, Darren realised that many coaches were excellent practitioners and could execute good technique, but lacked the necessary understanding of sport science to get their boxers to peak condition. Darren envisaged a platform where coaches can share their knowledge and experiences, while developing their own understanding of the sport through learning off each other, hence the website.
