Career

He became Head of Coach of the Great Britain women's national field hockey team in 2003, and continued in the 2012 Summer Olympics.

In 2016 he was appointed Head Coach of the England and Great Britain Women’s Hockey teams on a permanent basis through to the Tokyo Olympic Games in 2020.

Coaching approach

Kerry made changes to his coaching following very adverse feedback after his role as head coach at the 2008 Olympics.

He emphasises that 'culture precedes performance' and the importance of common purpose. He encourages his players to consider scenarios and to work out for themselves how to 'find a way' in game situations.
