3 years (& 2 tournaments) on this warrants a repost. I’m continuously stunned by how many football & coaching ‘experts’ are (IMO) overly critical of #GarethSouthgate. The numbers, & his players, tell the real story. theconversation.com/gareth-southga…

“All our life experiences can shape us as coaches & exploring these biographies can be a valuable reflective activity”. A flashback to ⁦Cluster for Research into Coaching (CRiC)⁩’s fantastic recent conference & ⁦the opportunity to chat to ⁦Mike Castle⁩ Cardiff Met University Sports Coaching Hub⁩ podcast.

Thrilled to share the news that we’ve been successful with this playtheirway tender ⬇️ here at Nottingham Trent University NTU Department of Sport Science NTU Sport.

Great to present on day 1 of the @UKSDN conference on home territory here at Nottingham Trent University NTU Department of Sport Science on coaching through a challenge & support framework. A fantastic day with great people. Looking forward to day 2.

Yet another fantastic listen from Emma Hayes OBE 🙌 with Gabby Logan & Mark Chapman: the value of a personal coach alongside her, the human connection aspect of coaching that’s often forgotten & the diverse range of challenges women continue to face in sport. podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/the…

Great to get our Nottingham Trent University - playtheirway coach development pilot up & running last night through NTU Department of Sport Science. 12 of our 14 child-first coaches in attendance, a nice communal atmosphere, stacks of pizza & actions on #voicechoicejourney. A great start. 👌 #playtheirway

Hey Ryan Hubbard 🇵🇱⚽ - I’ve just finished your fantastic 🇵🇱 football book - loved it. Especially the political/social history aspect & how the ⚽️ was situated in the bigger picture of Polish life at various points in time. Thanks for going to the trouble of writing it. 👏👌

& still nothing a further 48 hours on! Incredibly poor Purplebricks Customer Services Purplebricks UK ☹️

Kit night (& some early reflecting/sharing) for our Nottingham Trent University NTU Department of Sport Science playtheirway group of coaches. 👌

Great to spend the day with the coach education & development community today thanks to UK Coaching. Nice (as ever) to catch up with familiar faces & connect with some not-so-familiar.

Great to have David Ross of NTU Rugby Union & Nottingham Rugby in last week to NTU Department of Sport Science to talk about his coaching, use of an empowering approach & how coaches can embed elements of psychology into their practice 👌👏

Still the scene here in West Yorks 👌

Fantastic to share the playtheirway #voicechoicejourney philosophy with our Nottingham Trent University NTU Department of Sport Science 1st year cohort of Sport Science & Coaching students yesterday. Sits perfectly with our coverage of FMS & coaching children. The future is bright 👌

Great to have Chris Chapman of UK Coaching join us yesterday Nottingham Trent University NTU Department of Sport Science to share his journey through PE teaching, coaching & coach development, in addition to supporting students in planning for a coach development-focused assessment. Thanks again Chappie!

Thrilled to share the news I’m taking on the role of External Examiner for the MSc in Sport Coaching at Liverpool John Moores University. Looking forward to working with Colum Cronin, Dr Amy Whitehead & the whole course team in supporting the programme. ljmu.ac.uk/study/courses/…

Is there anything like the feeling of pride in your kids? 😁 Leeds & District schools cup winners. A great team performance & a cracking +50 metre try for the boy. 🏉 🏆

An interesting morning yesterday at Bradford Bulls talking all things coaching, coach development & the challenges of research to practice with Head of Youth, Ryan Hunkin. Thanks for the invite - look forward to the next time.

A fantastic effort from our Nottingham Trent University NTU Department of Sport Science 1st year Sport Science & Coaching students planning & leading a successful School Sport Festival with 220 children yesterday - with School Sport Nottingham. Lots of activity & smiles all round. One of those 😊days!

A great session to be part of & some interesting/thought provoking comments & questions from CDs to help us to develop this work further. Hoping the ‘dials’ concept is of value to practitioners - whether coaches, CDs or both. Thanks Martin Dighton, Marianne Davies & UK Coaching
