Coe joins the staff as Head of Performance and Well-being on a full-time basis after previously working with the Hammers part-time last season. 

Coe has been involved with elite sport for most of her life, having played as a guard in basketball for Ireland and WIT Wildcats before joining UK Coaching in 2018, where she supported coaches across 13 high-performance Olympic sports on their respective journeys. 

Her role is a new and exciting position that will support the players and staff in the area of well-being and performance.

On moving into her new role at West Ham United, Coe said:

“I don’t know of many clubs that have combined performance and well-being before, so I’m really excited to explore what that role looks like. The head of performance side of my role will look at supporting the coaching staff, the medical team, and the analyst. 

“I’m a big advocate for mental health and well-being and I truly believe that we can win and achieve positive performance through a positive environment.” 

Women’s General Manager, Aidan Boxall is pleased to welcome Coe to the team on a full-time basis: 

"We are delighted that Jen has chosen to join us full-time. Having been an elite athlete and working with elite international athletes and coaches, she brings a huge wealth of experience and contacts from the performance and analytical world to the football club. 

"I believe that we can learn a lot from how other sports prepare their athletes and develop their coaches and Jen has an exceptional record in this. 

"We have spent a lot of time looking at other sports and the processes they use to maximise their performance over the course of the summer and we will look to implement these going forward," Boxall added.

Everyone at West Ham United is delighted to welcome Jen to the team on a full-time basis and we wish her well in her new role.
