Brilliant and so insightful ! Why can’t adults act like children ??? Life would be so much easier !!

[Billie Piper @billiepiper]

Not everyone learns the same way, but with a little help, we can make sure every child gets where they need to. #ShakespeareAtHome is keeping kids inspired during lockdown. Parents, check out @PrimeShakesCo for how you can get involved for free.

Thanks to @Leeblackett12 @jacob_umaga98 @WaspsRugby, great insight into the world of head coach and playmaker - Love how Lee and Jacob do a live video analysis session. Apparently Jacob is solving problems in the game #StopIt #BeatTheGame 😎👊🐝🏉https://t.co/MLuue0HM1r

This is a powerful reminder, that kids will mirror what they see. Let’s be a great example! 🤜🤛

[RussellEarnshaw @russellearnshaw]

Don’t care if we win the WC, hope coaches see that caring, focusing on what players CAN do, creating an environment where people can be their best (looks like fun for these lads) and modelling good behaviours are way more important than technique and fault correction.. 😎

[RussellEarnshaw @russellearnshaw]

Take a look at the kids on twitter. We're defo going to have to up our coaching game when we get back out there peeps. Skills we could never do, stretch, autonomy, individualise, encouraging exploration, less queues (yet to see one posted on Twitter), strengths-focused, joy...

Today's top tip:
Praise a risk BEFORE someone takes it.
Give the player the confidence to try something out by helping realise the upsides and downsides, and that it's worth it.
Therefore, there is knowledge, creativity, decision making and resilience all explored.

Quite the ad from Nike: "I believe that ... a whole generation of girls and boys will go out and play and say things like, 'I want to be like Megan Rapinoe when I grow up.' And that they'll be inspired to talk and win."
