I’m Lost for words.
A message everyone need to hear.

[Tight Five Rugby @TightFive_Rugby]

Yes. This.

A scrum is one of the most technically & physically challenging areas in ANY sport.

Sometimes nearly 2 tonnes of mass pushing against each other - nothing comes close to that physical challenge.

And understandably, 99% of fans, pundits and commentators don’t understand it fully.

Get people in who know the nuances of it and who can explain it well, but also use stats to our advantage.

Ange Postecoglou, head coach @SpursOfficial on importance of hiring the right people for your team. Applicable to sports and corporate.

“One wrong character in your dressing-rooms is a lot of problems… “I will always forsake the quality of a player for the right character.”

[Wayne Goldsmith @waynegoldcoach]

Of all the sporting parents messages I deliver, this one is perhaps THE most important. I've told this story in various ways for a quarter of a century and it always hits home:

Dear Soccer mom, Football Dad, Swimming Parent, Tennis dad, etc.

The chances are your child will never be an elite athlete.

They will never represent their country at the Olympics.

They will not be a professional basketballer or footballer or cricketer or rugby player.

But, every day - for the rest of your life - they will be your child.

And you know and I know what it is you truly want for your child.

You want them to be healthy.

You want them to be happy.

You want them to find something in their life that they can be passionate about.

You want them to love and to be loved.

You want them to find peace in their heart.

You want them to realise their potential as human beings.

So why not focus on loving them unconditionally, accepting them for who they are as people and inspiring them to believe in themselves so that every night, they lay in bed - knowing with total certainty - that you're there for them - always.

If they know that - and they've got the will, the talent, the motivation and the determination to be successful athletes - they will make it.

Regards,

WG

Going for a brisk walk for just 22 minutes once a day may be enough to offset the negative health effects of sitting too much, research suggests.🚶

Sedentary lifestyles are among the leading causes of ill health worldwide.

I went to the conference to speak privately and in person, but since that was not possible here are my thoughts from the article in the @TheTelegraphUK

The benefits of sport and physical activity on our mental health are endless: improved mood, decreased chance of depression and anxiety, and a more balanced lifestyle ⚖️

Sir Alex Ferguson on how to become a successful manager👇
🗣”Management is based on communication, loyalty and trust… You have to give your trust to the players and you hope with time you get it back. Communication was important to me, to recognise and value your staff.’

🚨 THE TRUMPET IS FIXED 🚨

After a Kiwi lad pinched it last week in the stands and caused some damage, amazingly the NZ team reached out to get it repaired.

Thanks so much @BLACKCAPS - proving your class yet again ❤️

[Mark Evans @evans_marke]

I played for 20 years from the age of 10.From the start,even at a young age,I loved the game but realised it had an element of risk. It was physical, it could be a bit scary,you got hurt at times.But I always enjoyed activities where there was some physical challenge so (1/4)..

INFOGRAPHIC - 'What makes playing sport fun is....?'
Remember what is fun for one person may be different to someone else but this research and work is very interesting for sports parents, vital to understand if we want to support our children effectively
