Kerry Williams - England and GB said: "I am impressed that someone so young is so very passionate about coaching and the development of future hockey stars. Simon's work with the grass roots hockey and commitment to developing his coaching ability is inspirational and will surely help towards his future aspirations to be a respected international coach"

Raminder Dhanda, master in charge of hockey at Rugby School commented:

"Simon has been working with a number of our 27 hockey teams as a lead coach and has a great ability to enthuse the students that he is working with whilst also providing good quality coaching from which the players can go away and understand a new concept or learn something new every time Simon works with them. He makes it easier for our staff as he provides them with new ideas and drills to work on with their teams and has been a real sucsess so far."
