Honored to be given this opportunity to coach and learn from the MK team. Looking forward to working with the Performance Potential squad and Development and Prep squads.

Thank you to everyone who’s helped me grow as a coach so far @CoCambridgeSC @ARU_Sport @ColchesterSC1

Was a great mental health first aid course

[Swim England National Swimming Talent Team @Sw_EngTalent]

Big thank you to @louisecgraham for delivering the First Aid for Mental Health Course to our pathway coaches this morning! Fantastic session and so important for our coaches to be equipped to help themselves and their athletes with mental health concerns

@Linz_e_dunn @MusSarkar @Sw_EngTalent Was another great day of learning and opportunity to share experiences on insightful discussion topics

Great, fun, challenging and constant changing session for athletes to respond too. @CBSSBarracudas, during session at @Saxon_pool, played another homage to monopoly. Great feedback on improving the play format for another time. #fun #play #Hardwork

Whats Magic about the Number 7? Miller (1956) coined that we process between 5-9 bits of information to our short term memory, we can amplify the bits of information by the process of 'chunking' data/bits together.

Great morning session with @CBSSBarracudas at @letstalkcentral Flitwick Leisure Centre. Swimmers challenged on their general knowledge. #MondayMotivation #KNOWLEDGE #fun

[Oliver Waddington @OliverWaddingt1]

Fully agree! #coachestogether

[Coach Brett Freeman @coachbfreeman]

Coaching is a calling. Your players will break your heart, your colleagues don’t consider you a real teacher, your critics roast you on social media, and you work countless hours for low pay. What keeps you going is changing lives. That’s a calling!

[Oliver Waddington @OliverWaddingt1]

A great activity to support the programme. Thanks to Jayne Knatchbull for organising! Fantastic to support local talent. #fundraising #local community #workingtogether
