David Nugent, the founder of The Kids Coach Ltd and author of "Fitness Fun for The Young" was born and raised in Dublin. His parents encouraged him to take part in sports from a young age. He enjoyed playing Gaelic Football
for Robert Emmet’s GAA club while he was in school at St. MacDara’s Community College. Perhaps this even influenced his decision to study Sports Science and Health in the Technological University in Tallaght. These days David plays Soccer and trains in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu.

A keen student and enthusiastic teacher, David has used his knowledge of Sports Science and Health to develop his coaching style. He likes to call himself The Kids Coach because he enjoys
helping young children develop their fundamental movement skills, build their self-confidence and learn social skills.
