He was first appointed head coach of the Great Britain women's national field hockey team in 2003, and continued in the 2012 Summer Olympics.[3]
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.[4]
In August 2018 he was appointed head coach of the England and Great Britain Men’s Hockey teams on a permanent basis through to the Tokyo Olympic Games in 2020. [5]
Coaching approach
Kerry made changes to his coaching following very adverse feedback after his role as head coach at the 2008 Olympics.[6]
He emphasises that 'culture precedes performance' and the importance of common purpose.[7] He encourages his players to consider scenarios and to work out for themselves how to 'find a way' in game situations.[8][9]
