Throughout International Women’s Month, we’re highlighting the amazing work our staff do within the Community department at Arsenal. This week, we hear from sports programme teacher Holly Walker, who speaks about her role, her love of community work and why we must all help to break down barriers to women in sport.
What’s your job and what does it entail?
I’m a sports programme teacher within our post-16 education programmes. It’s a blended role that combines teaching and coaching responsibilities, which means alternating between classroom instruction and coaching sessions on the field. Primarily I’m involved in delivering Level 2 provision, although we also offer Level 3 programmes.
