I dreamed of working in elite sport, until I did... I’ve struggled to explain why I turned away from that career path, when it looks so shiny from the outside, but this article explains it so neatly. theguardian.com/sport/blog/202…

My 2yr old’s former gymnastics coach would hold him back when he wouldn’t queue for a handstamp at the end of class. He queued today, without being made to, for cake. He didn’t ‘need to learn’, he needed to be developmentally ready. #gymnastics #Whytereview

A goodwill ambassador for the UNHCR ‘since 2016’ but ‘first time coming to an area that’s in conflict’, and ‘the thing that gets me is these are just people like you and I...’ Something feels really really off here... bbc.co.uk/news/entertain…

When I was ~14yrs old, I was in my local paper as the only girl on our school basketball team. I’m so hopeful now that those stories and their headlines (“Meet Alison, the next Michael Jordan” - both hilarious and annoying) are relics of the past #WEURO2022

Whether you support the monarchy or not, if you want to understand leadership, watch the live feed of Queen Elizabeth II lying-in-state and observe that a woman leading a controversial dynasty earned respect from such a deserve range of people

Eddie Jones on the possible problem with English Rugby👇 🗣"We've got alot of kids now not being taught by teachers they’re being taught by ex professionals... We’re trying to turn high school teams into high performance teams when it should just be about development."

"Make it make sense?!! So when a woman shows signs of ageing, she’s ‘given up’, but when a man does, he’s a ‘silver fox’?! One criticised, one praised. Leave women alone." Alex Light 👇

Case study for my ‘commercialisation of sport’ lecture sorted, unless something else more ridiculous is about to happen in the world of sport. At this point, even the ludicrous seems possible.

Not progressing to a ‘highly skilled job’ or further study within 15-months of graduation is NOT indicative of a ‘poor quality [degree] course (1/3) bbc.co.uk/news/uk-politi…

I did a range of low paid jobs and then started further study >2-years after I graduated. I now have 3 degrees and a well-paid and impactful role directly connected to what I learned in my first degree course (2/3)

Dr. Ali Tincknell-Smith (@alismith_27) 's Twitter Profile Photo

Whether a graduate progresses to a highly skilled job or further study within 15 months is not solely based on, or the responsibility of, the degree course, and some benefit from a non-linear route (3/3)

What any HE degree should teach, regardless of graduate destination, is critical thinking. I wonder why the government might want to limit access to that…? [bonus 4/3]
