Meet The Team
Delaine Gittens-Bedward
Advantage! Community Sports Coach
Job Role: Advantage! Community Coach/Health & Well-Being Champion
Most Enjoyable Aspect of the Role:
Being a role model for kids in schools who aspire to play for Barrow raiders, and then seeing them at home games has a special feeling to it.
Best Sporting Moment & Biggest Achievement
Playing for Barrow Raiders last year was up there and to top it off playing my first mens international game for Jamaica vs Wales was a good achievement off the back of a lot of training and self development.
Sporting Role Model:
Sam Burgess, because he was always based of effort and attitude, watching his documentary made me want to take rugby league serious and have that self belief that if you want something you can achieve it. Sam wasn’t the biggest or strongest but his mindset was
next to none and that was what set him apart from the rest.
Qualifications:
Degree in Digital Marketing (Purely so I can play rugby alongside my studies)
