I just love catching up with Jonathan and enjoy his viewpoint on coaching. So many lovely moments to consider in this chat. We finished with the thought that coaching is a human to human endeavour that makes it unique every time. This is the beauty and the challenge of coaching that we love ❤️

When children are in that state where they are so focussed/engaged and a bomb could go off around them and they wouldn’t notice!!! I often see (and describe it as) tongues out and having tiger eyes! Totally absorbed! What would we, the adults, do when we notice this?

Loved this catch up and chat with Chris who has a massive amount of experience in football with many different roles, scenarios and players. We talk about his philosophy and the experiences of coaches, players and parents. As ever, so many golden moments collected!

Getting some thoughts out of my head and putting a mark in the sand around the definitions and framework of play and development. Would be fascinated to get feedback and thoughts on this

Greg is my go to guy around PE, physical activity, children’s sport and movement. I just love our catch ups and chats and this one has so many golden moments that I will revisit again and again. A great listen for all coaches, teachers and parents. A definite “meaningful” experience 👍

Ahead of a “Clubhouse” chat about “A coaches role and responsibility in games based coaching” it got me thinking about the many hats that coaches wear!

So good to connect and chat with Richard from Discover Golf. A definite disrupter who is looking to “move the needle” of junior golf experiences. Do not always understand what he says (or look at things the same way) but always interested, intrigued and love the space he is coming from! LOTS of nuggets came out of this chat!

The day of love ❤️ got me thinking about what we can do to allow children to have meaningful experiences to fall in love with golf. Maybe so much more than golf???

Loved this deep dive with Rob into his “why”, mission statement and exploring what success is for him as a coach and the children that attend his program. Love the depth he is exploring around his coaching values and principles to create a lasting positive impact on the children he shares time with. Just fascinating 😊

Something that has been bouncing around in my mind for a little while, wanted to get it out and see where it landed! The question that sparked my thinking - has sport and coaching become over complicated? Have we (coaches/organisations) added layers of complication that to something that should be simple? Have we over complicated things, to create a problem, then offered solutions to the problems we have created?
