Steven Ward
"In life, we all encounter obstacles and high-pressure situations, and it's how we confront them that defines our journey. As both a youth worker and a professional boxer, with experiences training alongside elite fighters like Carl Frampton and Tyson Fury and a collection of achievements, including a Commonwealth silver medal and a WBO European championship, I've gained more than just athletic accolades. I've cultivated skills that empower me to assist individuals in navigating life's challenges, including stress, anxiety, and emotional struggles. From boxing, I've learned the importance of resilience, the value of mental fortitude, and the art of managing emotions constructively. As a youth worker, I've seamlessly integrated these lessons into my role, using the physical exertion of boxing as a catalyst for meaningful conversations on life's trials, making such discussions more accessible and productive. My track record in boxing and my experiences as a mentor equip me to excel under pressure and guide others to build the confidence to confront their own hurdles. I'm not just a coach; I'm someone who's lived through it, and I'm here to help others discover their strength when facing life's most challenging moments."
