What I'm looking for

I am looking for opportunities to further develop my coaching skills and contribute to youth sports programs.

My name is Tiago Vieira, and I am a dedicated youth sports coach specializing in water polo and rugby. Currently, I serve as a Waterpolo Development Coach at Jeppe High School for Boys, where I train boys from u11s to u14s. My commitment to fostering young talent in sports is evident in my coaching approach, which emphasizes skill development and teamwork.

In addition to my role in water polo, I have also coached the u14 Rugby team, where I contributed significantly during the 2023 season. My coaching experiences have not only allowed me to develop my leadership skills but also to give back to the community through sports. I am proud to have received several awards, including the Theo Jackson Scholarship Fund Boy of the Year award in 2024, which reflects my dedication to both academics and athletics.
