"What you do, creating strong, fit, confident young women is awesome"

A little bit about me.... |
In 2006 my daughter started synchronised swimming (now known as artistic swimming) and I became drawn into a strange world of figures, routines, sequins and geletine. Within two months the coaching staff at the club announced that they were leaving for pastures new and parents were asked to step forward to continue their work. I found my hand going up into the air. I was one of five parents who stepped up to the challenge and none of us knew anything about running a club or synchro.....it was a steep learning curve.
My weekends became full of training, competitions and 'THE SHOW'. I learnt a whole new language and taught myself how to coach others. I read books, watched videos and used any resource that I could to learn about this fabulous sport. I took over as Head Coach a few years later and attended more courses and researched running a sports club. With each small step forward my confidence increased. This was something I could do and was good at. More than anything else I enjoyed it and so did those I coached. But what has this to do with Lisa Bishop Tutoring? At Christmas 2014 I saw an advert for a course entitled SynchroFitness instructor. It had synchro in the title so I was already sold. It was the most amazing two days of training and I had found my new career. I decided to use my skills and become an instructor. I was then offered the chance to become a tutor for the company and jumped at it. Since then I have continued to add to my portfolio of skills and I am now qualified in several areas of fitness and am also able to tutor, assess and quality assure fitness courses. I love learning and passing on my knowledge to others gives me great joy. Seeing someone do something they thought was impossible is the best feeling ever. |
