The Union Flag at Benenden has been lowered to half-mast. The thoughts of everyone at Benenden School are with the Royal Family and all those mourning the loss of Her Majesty at this difficult time.

So excited to get started with this bit of kit OUTPUT// changing the game for our sports scholars!

Benenden Netballers have been fully immersed in their drills today 🏐🏃 #sport #netball #physed #physicaleducation

Coaches being in shape is the hill I will die on, practice what we preach 🙌

Sometimes the conditioning part of S&C looks like carefully measured and meticulously placed cones on a pitch. Other times it looks like neon socks and glow sticks for a 45 minute disco spin. Never a dull day with these kids 🚴🤟

S&C Coaches from Worcester Warriors & Wasps Rugby please get in touch. We'd love to discuss some consultancy work with you as we continue to devlop our AMS. Please share and retweet so we can support as many coaches as possible who have had a horrible few weeks

Everyone: We’re in an age of cutting edge sports nutrition, million pound oxygen chambers and meticulously crafted recovery regimes where every marginal gain counts. Jamie Vardy:

Great to have Clarissa Murphy in speaking to the sports scholars! Love having friends who share the same passions and can help drive my vision forwards - we’ve come a long way since school 😅

Enjoyed being the guinea pig for A-level students at our visit to Canterbury Christ Church University 🚴‍♂️🔋

Lovely fully circle moment today: Grabbing a coffee before my first MSc assessment - bumped into a lad I coached for 2 years, now a scholarship athlete playing academy rugby (and thankfully was very happy to see me!) Great mood booster on a stressful day 🙏

"Of course you think ice baths are good. You just got finished readin' Steven Pressfield. You're gonna be convinced of that 'til next year when you get to Malcolm Gladwell, and then you're gonna be talkin' about the 10,000 hour rule until you start regurgitatin' Daniel Kahneman."

With the wintry weather rendering the outdoor courts temporarily out of commission, our U16 netballers are working very hard indoors this morning 🏐💪 #sport #fitness #motivation

Coaching tip: keep the demos short and sweet so your athletes don’t know you’re past it 🆘

Plymoretric micro-dosing update: doing demos for 12 x 10 minute sessions back to back has left my calves on 🔥😅

A goal, an assist and a yellow card - good day at the office 😅

This week the U14A Netball team competed at the U14 Birley's Tournament. Winning four out of their five games, the players finished an impressive second place!

My last two ODI shirts available to buy. After this all my shirs are gone. Please message me if you want them. Offers of 200 minimum. I will go with the highest bid over the next 24 hours. These shirts are from the 1999 Eng vs Aus series. Happy to sign or not.

Don't be a fat PE teacher. Athletes are more likely to have better fitness scores if their coach is fit. In a study of physical educators, it was found that students scored higher on fitness tests when their teachers were perceived as fit. Kids can sense hypocrisy.
