The government intervention is excellent but would not have been needed if the Guardian and BBC hadn't decided to become the PR wing of Mermaids and Stonewall for the past decade. The suicide myth was debunked by academics ages ago. The corruption of media, in plain sight.

With all the talk about war and a UK citizens Army, I can’t help thinking of this picture below 🤣. Police Academy 4 Citizens on Patrol #getthismovieon

@UHL_DIETITIANS Hi there. This sounds great and I would love to learn more about the project. I have a role in school Governance and I think there could be huge implications for young children. Would you be able to connect with me? [email protected]

[Men Behind Sport @richardhusseiny]

I'm grateful and excited to be given a platform by the @UKSCA to share the unspoken truth of what many practitioners are experiencing in elite sport.

If you'll be there it would be great to meet you in person and expand this conversation - DM me.

PROACTIVE APPROACHES TO NAVIGATING THE CRISIS IN PERFORMANCE SUPPORT STAFF WELLBEING

📍This session will explore my research looking into the common themes 160 senior performance staff are experiencing in elite sport. It highlights the
issues that are negatively influencing their personal happiness and professional impact.

🎯The first aim is to bring awareness of these powerful findings, which will strike a cord with many who attend. Often due to separation from themselves. I’ll discuss why they sacrifice without question for the golden chalice of prestigious roles. And why this golden chalice quickly turns into a
poisoned chalice.

🎯The second aim is to offer practical solutions. These will be delivered in an interactive format, in which coaches can proactively look at their decision
making to stop living to work and start living their life.

🙋🏻‍♂️This session is not solely aimed at ‘teaching’ you something. Rather, it’s about opening your eyes to something you may not be aware of in a way
that serves you.

[Crofton Alexander @croftonsport]

Agree with both comments. This lack of understanding has led to the creation of “fad training” or gimmicks when doing speed training. The ability to understand how A affects B is key and is where most time should be spent rather than focusing on the outcomes of movement.

[Dan Cleather | Strength and Conditioning @dr_jump_uk]

This is not well understood by many…

[Crofton Alexander @croftonsport]

Always an informative and fascinating conversation when these two get together. This will be a great read for sure. 👍🏽

I'm so excited to hear what people think.

This is a book for anyone who wants to take a deep dive into what makes us run fast.

This is very smart play and is definitely a way of taking the pressure off/sharing the burden during a critical moment👏🏽

[Tom Hartley @thomaswhartley]

Great video, protecting the penalty taker, taking on the mind game tactics from the opposition

✅Huge amount of foresight to plan this
✅Players taking on different ‘roles’ to support team
✅Deception and disguise
