Hello, I'm Pete, bringing over 15 years of coaching experience to the table. A founding member of the GNR8 team, I've cherished witnessing the club and its members evolve. With a football career spanning 16 years across youth and senior levels, I clinched numerous cup and league titles. I formerly captained the Nottingham Vikings Ball Hockey Club, guiding them to both league and playoff victories. My deep passion for sports is evident in my extensive experience coaching youth sports. The most rewarding aspect for me is observing individuals grow and reach their best potential, a process that continually enhances my skills as a coach.

Hello there! I'm Ephraim, and I became an apprentice coach at GNR8 Academy in September 2023. My passion for coaching aligns with my love for boxing, where I proudly maintain an undefeated record. During my fyounger years, I developed a keen interest in various sports such as boxing, football, hockey, basketball, badminton, and cross country. Coaching appeals to me because it allows me to connect with individuals, sharing my knowledge and teaching valuable self-defense skills.
