Having volunteered in the sector for 11 years, encouraging and motivating women to participate in physical activity and sport, the former lawyer took the brave and inspirational decision to make this her full-time career, siting it as "my calling and my passion".
Natasha (Tash) has never been happier since becoming a Sporting Champion for the National campaigns including 'This Girl Can' and a kickboxing instructor for women and children. Tash regularly appears at conferences, seminars and school sport event days, and rarely declines such invitations if it means she can make a positive impact in our world of sport and physical activity.
Tash is one of the most inspirational characters within the Leicester-Shire & Rutland Sport (LRS) workforce. Her passion for coaching and supporting individuals from all walks of life is second to none.
Tash has worked hard to develop her coaching skills to support the individual needs of participants within her training groups, rather than focusing on traditional group coaching methods. Her dedication to encouraging women of all ages to take part in physical activity makes her a fantastic role model for the communities she is working in.
Tash has been supported by LRS through the satellite club provision and provided with additional support in terms of market and her personal coach development. She is also a key figure for LRS's local This Girl Can campaign and charity night, a big yearly event in our delivery calendar.
