INTRODUCING STEP CHANGE COACHING
Co-founders and regular faces at Old Schools Lane, Tom Smith and James Earl-King created Step Change Coaching to provide participants of all abilities an opportunity to improve their fundamental basic hockey skills.
“We chose our name as we believe it means a significant change in attitude or skill, especially which results in a definite improvement. We took some inspiration from Abhishek Ratna who said: “a gap in skills and abilities reveals a golden opportunity.” We as a coaching provider want to bring about that golden opportunity for you.
The aim of our coaching is for participants to learn individual and team-based skills, tactics, and strategies. All of this played in a fun game orientated and safe environment. Above all, our principle coaching focus is the pivotal emphasis on ‘mastering’ the fundamental basics in a dynamic environment. In addition we look at the development of higher-level skills.” – Tom & James.
Tom Smith is a level 2 hockey coach who combines creative ideas and attention to detail in his coaching. At Epsom Hockey Club he coaches several different junior age groups, both indoor and outdoor. Likewise he has helped coach most of the teams in the men’s section. He has also coached in the single player pathway and at local schools.
