I am an enthusiastic worker and put my all into any challenges I am set. I have a keen interest in physical activity, health and sports development. I enjoy encouraging people to live a lifestyle that will allow them to live healthy and happy. My communication skills will be excellent in giving advice to people who want to stay healthy and active, I have lots of experience in one to one situations and have lead a team in several aspects. I think I am a good candidate for this opportunity to work with your company as I have many skills which I can bring but also an open mind to learn new skills and gain new qualifications.
