PERSONAL PROFILE

“Simon burst on to the internati onal coaching scene by turning the Philippines into a team that the major nati ons in the region began to fear. He developed an internati onal recruitment programme and the team was obviously well organised and extremely moti vated, leading to the best results the country had ever had. Simon then progressed on to the highly competi ti ve professional club scene in this region, where once again he coached with success. I would highly recommend Simon for any coaching positi on as I know he would give maximum eff ort and produce the best coaching environment possible.”
