Meet Reece
Level 4 Sports Coach
What did you enjoy most about your apprenticeship experience?
I would have to say the opportunities for CPD that were offered. I really enjoyed working with children and being that role model who creates a positive attitude towards sports.
What initiatives have you been able to implement as an apprentice?
I have started new sports clubs at my school (fitness and multi-sports).
How has your tutor has supported you?
My tutor regularly organised online calls or in person meetings to see how I was doing and ask if I needed any support. They were happy to help at anytime and I always felt very supported by the whole ESF team – they made the tasks and assignments easy to understand and complete.
What is the biggest thing you have learnt during your apprenticeship?
To have more confidence in my ability and ways in which I can alter my lesson plans and activities to suit all needs.
Would you recommend ESF Apprenticeships?
Yes! Not only because they help you to develop personal skills, but also the way the apprenticeship is run – you feel supported all the time so you don’t feel like you are working on your own.
What are your future aspirations?
Having completed my apprenticeship, I’m delighted to now be in charge of leading PE in a new Primary and Infants school. I help to ensure that my school offer a wide variety of activities to pupils, as well as support teachers with the resources needed for lessons they lead.
