Alongside his lecturing position Ian is an Academy S&C coach at Wigan Warriors. Over 9 seasons at the club he has had various coaching positions in the youth system. He has previously worked with Wigan Athletic FC and Paralympics GB in S&C/sports science positions. Ian was the S&C coach for the GoalBall squads during the London 2012 Paralympic Games.
