When Matthew was going through a tough time with his team, Jon gave him a very encouraging note. Matthew now has the note as the screen saver on his phone. “Do your best. You matter. Don’t worry what others think.”

Hi Jon,
I hope you are well.
I am just passing on some great feedback we have received from Highvale Primary School.
“Jon is an amazing coach. His sessions were engaging and exciting. He spent time with each individual student and modified/extended students according to the skills they demonstrated. We highly recommend his program and expertise.”
