Bex for First Female All Black Coach

$230 of $3,000 goal
Pledged by 5 generous supporters in 6 weeks

It's time for me to take the first step on a long journey to my ultimate long term goal of becoming the first female All Blacks Coach!

Wellington

After taking on coaching rugby this year as a hobby and to help my son adjust to a new sport with new people I have realised that not only do I have a passion for this sport, in both coaching and developing players, but I also have a talent for it.

For years I have not known what I want to do when I grow up. Now although I still don't feel all that grown up at times, I know for sure what my goals are. My ultimate long term goal is to become the first female All Blacks Coach and along the way I have some short term goals that will all help to set me up for my ultimate goal.

Some of my goals include:

Getting my coaching qualifications

Getting a job in either junior or women's development

Paving a pathway for those women that would like to be more involved in rugby but are not sure how, or are too afraid to.

This page is being setup to take one of the first steps for this, and that is to complete a Club Development Coaches Course through IRANZ. I hope to raise the funds in order to attend the course they have available in November, Your donation will not be deducted unless the full amount is raised. If I don't manage to raise the amount by my target date I will be trying to fundraise again before the next course date whenever that may be.

I plan to share this page and also look at different fundraising options.

I plan to do a 20km walk as part of my fundraising and would be happy to have people pledge an amount per km for me to do this. I plan to walk from Ava Park in Alicetown, to Eastbourne and back again. I will do this walk on the 14th October (with a wet weather alternative day of 28th October)

Use of funds

The money raised will be used to pay for my course through IRANZ at a cost of $2600, and also to fund the 4 days of unpaid leave I will need to take to attend this course. As a single Mum, I work full-time but this just isn't something that I can afford to fork out for myself at this point. I want to be able to overcome any hurdles that may come up in achieving my dreams!
