Conor Hartley

I am an ex-professional rugby player looking for a physical education teaching position. 10 years of professional sports have given me a vast range of skills and knowledge in communication, leadership, analysis, decision-making, and coaching. This has allowed me to become a dedicated educator focused on supporting the holistic development of students to enable them to reach their potential. I thrived on maintaining and encouraging superior communication skills to foster meaningful relationships with students, parents, and staff.
