NDIS Sport Coaching 1 to 1

ABOUT: Hi, my name is Kristian. I am a fully registered and qualified Physical Education teacher with a Degree in Exercise Science. As a teacher and coach, I have worked alongside children of all ages ranging from preschool to teenage years.

I enjoy working with children and their families as they grow and achieve personalised goals. My holistic approach is informed by my knowledge of biomechanics, anatomy, motor control, health, and my extensive classroom experience.
I work from a strengths-based framework in partnership with children and young adults who present with neurodevelopment differences, their families, and multi-disciplinary teams. What matters most to me is children having fun through physical activity. Children are much more likely to learn and reach their goals when they can be their authentic selves and enjoy what they are doing.

MISSION: To provide fun, active and client-centred support for individuals with special needs, their families, and carers.

SERVICES PROVIDED
I establish a strong working relationship with children and their families by first learning about the unique needs of each family and how we can work together to develop children’s confidence, fitness, strength and overall wellbeing. I incorporate play-based teaching models that focus on fine and gross motor skills, sensory processing, emotion regulation and cognitive skills.
Each session is full of engagement, energy, passion, and flexibility. I offer sessions in homes or at local parks of your choice. I have a large variety of sporting equipment that is tailored to meet individual needs.
