"Throughout my playing career, I was fortunate to go on tour every year - a tradition that left a lasting impression on me. Now, as a coach, I ensure touring remains a top priority. It's a deeply rooted part of the game and one I’m incredibly passionate about. I consider myself lucky to work with so many teams, helping turn their tour dreams into reality."

James, Esselle Director
