@katganly So many to choose from! Here’s one from last Sunday. My heart is finding new places to glow

[ZigZagMike @ZZConfidence]

@nlevett Feels like a question with lots of layers. In the moment, though, maybe ask the coach/dad what he sees in how the young players seem to be feeling - can he empathise and respond? And maybe question himself - whose expectations are at play here? PS: I’m not a football coach!

Sadly I'll be closing this account at the end of this week. Many thanks to all who have followed, liked, retweeted... and those who have shared their own exciting, positive ideas and experiences. I'll be making a brave attempt at making more use of https://t.co/fa4owdayMY

[ZigZagMike @ZZConfidence]

Another super, thought-provoking convo. Thanks @jennycoady10 @nlevett Makes me wonder: if caring is about looking for and responding to what matters to others and being genuine in our response, how much easier it must be than not caring!

[Coach Conversation @CoachConvo]

Not even going to explain in detail what this episode, season 4 episode 4, is about. You just need to watch it. It's 20mins of pearls of wisdom from @jennycoady10.

It's bloody brilliant.

Seriously, go boldly into the unknown of this topic.

@CoachConvo @jennycoady10 @nlevett @APBradders @thomaswhartley @SGreen_1 @EmilyCoe20 @Emily_Handyside @justinbieber @DrSkillAcq @kearney_phil What a super Convo - great to be reminded of basics to get right every time. Mine very similar: professionalism in planning and presentation, sense of excited anticipation (don't know what will happen but it's going to be good!) and flick on the total attentiveness switch

[ZigZagMike @ZZConfidence]

Just caught up with this - another great Convo! Interesting how we too easily assume performing under pressure = pressurised play. Yet how much more impactful is the pressure from coaches, parents etc. Nice one @nlevett & @jennycoady10

[Coach Conversation @CoachConvo]

Somehow, and neither of them have any idea how this has happened, but Coach Convo with @jennycoady10 & @nlevett has rolled over into 4th season! So, grab a brew and strap in for 20mins of coaching chat. What resonates, what has it made you think or ponder?https://t.co/QR4OhgHwN1

Another super conversation - listen out for "creating memories" and "healthy environments" Many thanks @jennycoady10 @nlevett Ready to join your crusade

[Coach Conversation @CoachConvo]

It's a dazzle, don't you know?! @jennycoady10 kicks us off with this cracker of a fact before JC and @nlevett get stuck into high performing / performance, developing skills for life and the importance of coaching. https://t.co/ek8t3407m9

[ZigZagMike @ZZConfidence]

This was very impactful when I first read it some years ago - just as much now. Many thanks @Timheming

Great conversation and insights from having the courage to try something different, putting a "how can you show us (the coaches) you understand..." question to those we coach. And more. Big thanks @nlevett & @jennycoady10

[Coach Conversation @CoachConvo]

S3 E3. It's 15mins of @jennycoady10 & @nlevett talking about doing something differently, putting themselves out there to try something new. No, this isn't through contemporary dance or mime but asking the kids to plan a session to show what they know...
