About Me

My name is Alex Spring (married name Webb) and I have been coaching for over 10 years in schools, clubs and county as well as running many courses in the South East. I play netball for Gems in Surrey and coach various clubs throughout the county.

I taught PE for 2 years before visiting Australia and New Zealand on a scholarship to research levels of fitness in PE lessons. Whilst in Australia, I got involved with coaching courses at the Sydney Institute of Sport which was a great learning platform and helped with many ideas within the book.

On returning from my travels I left teaching and went into the events industry, where I became and Events Director for an Experiential Marketing Agency running large scale festivals, launches and other events. I am presently on maternity leave which has allowed me to run a lot more courses in schools and Universities

Where did “Coaching Made Easy” come from?

I was asked by my sister to run a day course for Primary School teachers in Cambridgeshire as many of them were very ‘out of the loop’ when it came to netball. I put a booklet together to go with the course which became the core of ‘Coaching Made Easy’. I then began to develop the book as a useful tool when I ran Level 1 courses. Many people who have attended my Level 1 courses or ‘Skills and Drills’ courses now have a copy of the book which has helped them immensely with their confidence when teaching netball at school and junior club level.
