"Observing Gordon with a group or class of children was fascinating. He came up with all sorts of games and activities to promote the fundamentals of sport. Gordon made sure all the children were involved and adapted sessions to suit all ages and abilities. I was amazed by the way could point out children with potential for different sports within a few minutes of watching them playing different games and performing tasks.
I cannot praise Gordon enough he is a very talented coach with bags of enthusiasm and ability."
