Ryan Amos

With 30 years of experience working in sport, I am passionate about helping people participate, perform, and grow. As a former professional rugby player, I’ve seen firsthand how sport can build confidence and connection.

My career in sport development has focussed on creating inclusive opportunities supporting both coaches and leaders to deliver quality experiences at every level.  My coaching journey began in rugby before branching into cricket, where I coached youth teams including my own children, and now into Pickleball – a sport that perfectly combines skill, strategy, and social connection. Over the years, I’ve supported, developed, and mentored hundreds of coaches, helping them to unlock potential and achieve their personal goals. My approach focuses on the individual – understanding what motivates them, to support their growth both on and off the court. I also bring experience as a former strength and conditioning specialist, which informs my understanding of movement, performance, and safe progression.

I now co-run Sheffield Pickleball Academy, delivering sessions that support Sheffield’s growing Pickleball community.  As the South Yorkshire County Representative for Pickleball England, I’m passionate about helping the sport thrive locally and creating pathways for new players and coaches. I offer individual coaching, small group training, and larger development sessions across Sheffield and the surrounding areas, helping every player progress with confidence, enjoyment, and purpose.  To find out more please drop me a line.
