James was so cruelly taken from his loving family and friends at the age of 26.

James was in his final year at university to achieve a BA (Hons) in Sport Development and Coaching.

From a young age James had a love for sports and in particular, football.  Whilst studying for his degree he worked as a sports coach at academies in Surbiton and Plymouth and in local Plymouth primary schools.

His ultimate aim was to dedicate his life to help children through the power of sport.  James wanted to encourage, help and inspire children who have difficulties with the school system or struggle with growing up.  James understood how children felt and why they rebel.  

James knew the power of sport and wanted to demonstrate that through sport, a caring and supportive coach, anything is possible.  

He made a difference and touched the lives of so many in his short but amazingly full life.
