An enthusiastic sportsman and qualified teacher and coach, Aaron has been competing in both team and individual sports since the age of six. Having worked with young people who are blind or partially sighted for over eight years, Aaron chose to specialise in Goalball.

Adam Bendall
B1 Senior Assistant Coach - The Football Association and RNC Sports Academy Coach - Lead Co-ordinator football and golf
Adam showed a flair for sport from a young age and was scouted by a range of Premier League clubs at the age of 11, choosing Cardiff due to his Welsh heritage.
After representing his country six times, and winning the Victory Shield for Wales, serious injury forced Adam to reconsider his sporting career. He joined Hereford United FC as their Disability Officer, achieving his Level 2 football badge and the UEFA B qualification. Adam plays a key role in developing students for B1 and B2/B3 football leagues and national squads, such is his passion for the game.
