Favourite Team and Player?
I’m a Baggies fan, West Brom, and have supported them all my life. We’re a bit up and down but you can’t change your team! Favourite player? Difficult one, but I like Lucy Bronze.
Favourite Food?
Love a Katsu Curry. I’m actually not a bad cook and often make it at home when I have time.
Number one pet peeve?
Lateness! And I include myself in that answer. I hold myself to the highest standards and make sure I’m never late for anything… so it annoys me even more when I’m waiting about for other people!
Something people might be surprised to learn?
Well I’ve flown a Cessna 152 Aeroplane. I guess that’s pretty surprising. It was a great experience and I like to think I was a bit of a natural.

The Bio
Coach Nicole is our swimming expert here at AJB Sports in Education. She has been with the company since 2017 and has swum competitively for Worcester swimming club for 8 years, representing them all the way up to regional level. She is also one of our many coaches who got itchy feet and travelled over to the USA to gain further experience in another country. Nicole worked at Camp Wayne in Pennsylvania as a swim coach whilst also travelling around the country to broaden her horizons. She says her favourite place to visit is New York City and that there is nowhere else like it.
Nicole is experienced and empathetic with the children and has a great way about her, especially with the really young kids. Whilst she is clearly at home in the pool, Nicole also has a wealth of experience in teaching Multi-Sports and don’t underestimate her on the football pitch
