WO Sports Coach Bio’s
Naihum Stevens
Since I was young, I have enjoyed taking part in sports due to the mental and physical benefits associated with staying active. I loved playing many sports, but football was the one sport I thoroughly enjoyed playing with my friends at the park and then progressed to playing at grassroots level with many teams in East London during my secondary school years.
During my college and university years, I studied sports exercise and science (specialising in teaching and coaching) to learn how I could make a positive impact on young people and children whilst coaching football.
I got involved in WO Sports during my second year at University where I learnt football in terms of ball mastery and positions to teach the younger age groups. The staff welcomed me with open arms and allowed me to fit in quite quickly and comfortably.
What I like about WO Sports is the fact that the parents are supportive of the players and coaches in comparison to other clubs. We allow the players to express themselves and to play freely on the pitch.
I am still learning and currently working with the under 9s age group at WO Sports. I am proud to see how much they have improved as a team since their first game. I am looking forward to finishing the season with this incredible team once grassroots football returns.
