About Chantelle

Hello! I'm Chantelle, a passionate and enthusiastic early years sports coach in Wigan, dedicated to inspiring the next generation of little athletes. With a BA Hons degree in Football Coaching and Management, and a Level 3 qualification in Childcare, I bring a unique blend of expertise and energy to every session I lead as a fun sports coach.

My journey into coaching began long before I earned my degree. As an ex-member of the British Navy, I learned the importance of discipline, teamwork, and perseverance - values that I now pass on to the young children I coach. After my time in the Navy, I decided to combine my love for sports and my desire to make a difference in children's lives. This led me to pursue a career as an early years sports coach, focusing on nurturing gross motor skills in the youngest learners, and I haven’t looked back since.

With 8 years of coaching experience under my belt, including 3 years specifically working with early years and nursery-aged children, I understand the unique needs of young learners. My approach is all about making sports fun and accessible, helping children develop not just physical skills like gross motor skills, but also confidence, teamwork, and a lifelong love of being active, especially within the framework of the birth to five model coach.

When I’m not on the coaching field or in a nursery, you’ll find me watching football, exploring the great outdoors by hiking up mountains, or enjoying long walks with my dog. I believe in living a healthy and active lifestyle, and I’m committed to inspiring the same in the children I coach across Wigan.

Safety is my top priority, which is why I hold a full DBS check and Level 3 First Aid, ensuring that every child I work with is in a safe and secure environment.

I’m excited to bring my passion, experience, and dedication to every session, and I look forward to helping your little ones take their first steps into the wonderful world of sports with targeted sports coaching in Wigan!
