Janet has been coaching at Hoddesdon SC since April 2002 and took on the role of Head Coach in April 2003. A County level swimmer when younger she has swam for Edmonton Phoenix, Ware, Hatfield and as a Master for Hartham Masters SC. Swimming has always been a big part of Janet’s life. When her children started swimming lessons, it wasn’t long before she found herself taking as many ASA Certificates as she could. In 2004 she passed her Club Coach Certificate in Swimming and her Teacher Certificate in Diving in 2005. For 2 years, alongside her swimming teaching and coaching at Hoddesdon, she was privileged to be able to coach alongside Derek Beaumont at The Beaumont Diving Academy Hatfield. Janet is currently taking the UKCC Level 3 Swimming Coaching certificate and in September 2008 she started a full-time University Course at the Hertfordshire University in BSc Sports Studies.
As Head Coach she coaches all squads and coaches every day. She is very proud to be a part of the recent successes the club has enjoyed, and believes the support she receives from the team of coaches at Hoddesdon, who are all highly qualified and extremely professional, are the main reason behind these successes.
Her philosophy is of hard work and self-belief, “To succeed, you need to put the work in, if you work hard and believe that you can achieve – then it can happen. If you know you have done your very best, you can remain happy and continue to work hard.”
