What are your guiding principles in life? What acts as a daily reminder for you to do what you've got to do, and be the person you aspire to be?

For me this is it.....Exemplo Ducemus - "by example we shall lead".… https://t.co/CMMov9qUz6

Keeping the momentum going after graduating this week with a first class honours degree in Physical Activity, Health and Wellbeing. Now passed my @SandCEducation L4 online theory exam!

@dwhembro @JasonBennie I wish I had this paper when I wrote my dissertation! Just graduated with a degree in Physical Activity, Health and Wellbeing. Also currently enrolled on @SandCEducation L4 qual. Looking to work with youths promoting S&C for H&W.

@litt_strength absolutely. All about developing physical literacy. @PhysLiteracy

[Nathanael Littauer @litt_strength]

Something to be mindful of when working with kids in an S&C role is how they may be coming to you to train for sports, you're simultaneously training them to build healthy life habits.

Most kids won't play sports past High School. But everyone has a body to take care of for life

@evapeterannax Just absolutely shocking! But keep fighting and don't let this stand in the way of your dreams. You should send this letter (or similar) to your chosen institutions as well 👍

If anyone is interested I have just sent this letter to John Swinney and Head of Education in the WI

@KennyCameron2 I went today with my wife and kids. £5.90 for a roll & sausage! Disgraceful. Never going back.

@NicolaSturgeon there is a lot of anger and frustration in Scotland's fitness industry today. Myself, and many of my friends and colleagues don't understand. Please show us the evidence which justifies keeping gyms closed while allowing pubs and other indoor industries to open.

@thoughtland Ugh more tory pettiness. They would probably do better in elections if they just stayed quiet. The Scottish Tories, irrelevant since the 1950's.

[Caledonia Strength @cal_strength]

@Strength4_Life Superb. My ambition is to focus on youth strength training primarily for GPP of the general population rather than athletes. So many young people who are alienated from "traditional" physical activities would benefit from S&C and strength sports. 👍

[Caledonia Strength @cal_strength]

@helen_collins1 @UKSCA ....muscle strengthening activities. One group of self-identified "exercisers" and one group of "non exercisers". The focus group discussions would explore both current and past (high school) experiences for both groups and try to find common themes.

[Caledonia Strength @cal_strength]

@helen_collins1 @UKSCA Unfortunately COVID shut me down before I could carry out my study which was focus group based. My submission ended up being an extended lit review proposal. The premise of the study was to explore young undergraduates experiences, values beliefs etc of physical activity and....
