Enjoyable week in Scotland Schools, working across 3 Local Authorities (Glasgow,Edinburgh & Falkirk), Despite the rain, enthusiasm was high at Springburn Academy. Girls were proud of their SOHK stash at Whitehill Secondary & quality rugby on show at St Thomas Aquinas Secondary.

#Concussion/Brain Injury

Good honest messaging here.

No Headgear can prevent Concussion or Brain Injury 👍💯

@Gazpin_69kg @GBWeightLifting Yeah, I can't wrap my head around it, surely there could have been a more measured response. A very poor, knee jerk, reaction that will ultimately harm the athletes, members and supporters that BWL should be looking out for.

[Matthew Byers @CoachByber]

@GBWeightLifting please take heed of Gareths tweet. Incredibly short notice for a cancellation, when so many people have paid a lot of money for travel/accomodation, there is no obligation for the event to be cancelled and there is no way we can be refunded. @amcarmichaelMP

[Gaz Evans @Gazpin_69kg]

So the British open 'tomorrow' has been cancelled by @GBWeightLifting

What an absolutely terrible decision!
The amount of lifters and their families that will have paid for travel etc and now out of pocket.
I get the gesture but know your audience and respect your members.

94% of pupils on SOHK for Schools avoid permanent exclusion and complete their education.

School exclusions matter. Children who are excluded from school are more likely to repeatedly offend and suffer from mental health problems.

Thanks to @EdinburghRugby and @BaillieGifford for housing and running this event, and cheers Adrian from @rugbypeoplenet for the great snaps 📸

'Concussion in Sport'

I want this term dropped as it has little utility and is basically meaningless.

I want it replaced with 'Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI) in Sport'

[Arnold Schwarzenegger @Schwarzenegger]

I love the Russian people. That is why I have to tell you the truth. Please watch and share.
