Presented by Jack Rolfe from the Coaching Lab and powered by our partner Coach Logic, we are today announcing the second of our EHF Breakfast Club webinar series, with Kate Richardson-Walsh and Darren Cheesman “The road from player to coach”

Darren Cheesman is an ex-England and Great Britain Hockey hockey International who is now a High-Performance Coach for England Hockey and the FIH, as well as a Coach Educator for FIH.

During his first spell at East Grinstead, Cheesman was voted ‘Premier League Player of the Year.’ Cheesman played an instrumental role in East Grinstead’s successes both domestically and in the Euro Hockey League.

Cheesman came into hockey through Arsenal FC’s ‘Sport in the Community’ program. It is a program that sees the football club send coaches into local schools and communities to teach them various sports. Cheesman attended Arsenal’s ‘in the community’ scheme and gained opportunities and life skills to help him reach his position today.
