Congratulations to Sophie Al-Mudallal

Sophie is leading member of the Hull Sport Workforce Academy and has really excelled over the last 12 months through our squash programmes. Sophie has worked on the likes of our in school squash programme Rackets Cubed, delivered female only student sessions and transitioned into the lead of our after school junior squash programme. Over the last 12 months Sophie's confidence and ability to play and deliver squash based activity has grown exponentially. Having only starting to play whilst a student at the University Sophie has really showcased the perfect model of moving from beginner squash playing activity to coaching and delivering squash activity for a range of different demographics. Through all her hard work Sophie has been recognised by 3 separate organisations; England Squash, Yorkshire University Sports Awards, Street Games.
