@POferriesupdate Received a cryptic text this evening saying 8am sailing on 26th is cancelled too. Is this correct? No info given for next available sailing on 26th. Is this 11am sailing from Cairnryan?

@L4PSSGlasgow @L3PSSGlasgow Super discussion & slides from our former External Examiner @grantabt . Strongly recommend you read these. I'll be pointing you toward them again when the new academic session starts.

[Grant Abt @grantabt]

An enjoyable session today @E_C_S_S with @JennyMurphy2 and @francoimpell.

I talked about the need to improve our statistical literacy and prioritising conceptual understanding over methods (e.g., t-test) in our teaching.

Link below to my slides.

@aaronwalshnz Yeah, agree with helping to accept challenging or difficult thoughts and feelings. Can be hard, although worth it. Have a look at our work on @Mind_Flexer and https://t.co/3AzriLdIG7 for how to help.

[Glasgow Hawks @GlasgowHawks1]

I’m running players’ pre-season testing for power, strength, aerobic fitness, mental skills, agility, flexibility & body composition, & providing players with tailored conditioning programmes

My job allows me to bring Glasgow Hawks innovative conditioning and research practices

[Glasgow Hawks @GlasgowHawks1]

The @takasocials_usa anaylsis gives amazing detail to players about how impactful their performance was on the match outcome- where, when and how they made impact during the match.

I also have expertise in supporting the wellbeing of players within a mentally-health environment

[Glasgow Hawks @GlasgowHawks1]

Our players at Hawks benefit from much more than just rugby coaching, hear from our Head of Performance, @vikipen, on what she provides:

“As a Senior Lecturer in Sport & Exercise Science at University of Glasgow, I’ve been working with Hawks since 2012.

#WeAreHawks

[Glasgow Hawks @GlasgowHawks1]

Are you moving to Glasgow & looking for a new rugby club?

Get in touch.
As Glasgow’s Premier Rugby Club, we are recruiting.

We’d love to hear from any players moving to Glasgow looking to challenge themselves in a new environment at the top end of Scottish Rugby
