National Education Manager Ben started with EA on 14 June 2010 after moving across from the Australian College of Physical Education where he was the Course Convenor for the Bachelor of Sports Coaching and Administration. He has a strong background in Coach/Official education having run the degree program for the last 3 years and also working in, and as a consultant for, the Coaching and Officiating unit at the Australian Sports Commission. He has a Bachelor Degree in Sport Studies (Coaching) from the University of Canberra and a Masters in Health Science (Exercise and Sports Science) from the University of Sydney. He is also an accredited ‘C’ License Football (soccer) coach, Level 2 Strength and Conditioning Coach and a member of Exercise and Sports Science Australia. Ben has a competitive performance background away from the sport of equestrian, which is probably good since the last time he was on a horse he promptly fell off again! He had a very short career in the former National Soccer League and is now riding another type of steed of the carbon and 2 wheeled variety as a masters cyclist. In 2006 he rode a mountain bike for charity across parts of Mongolia (so the link to horses is tenuous, but there). He also has to do a lot of running around after two small but very active children. Outside of sport, coaching and coach education, Ben and his family love to travel having lived, studied and worked in several parts of the US and Europe. Contact Details: |
