Adolescence on Netflix is like a mirror being held up to society. Children should not have smart phones. It’s our job as parents and role models to not allow it.
The irony that I am even putting this on social media is, sad in itself.

Things not measured that matter:

Teacher inspires student who later embarks on a uni course and future career because of that teachers subject enthusiasm (no evidence to show at the time)

Teacher who helps a student at school who was getting bullied to gain in confidence, in hindsight this is a turning point in their life (no evidence to show at the time)

Teacher who is a role model, almost like a parent in the childs life, over many years - this influences who they are as an adult (no evidence to show at the time)

Teacher consistently makes kid(s) laugh on days when they really were hating life, helps them through school years (no evidence at the time).

Teachers high expectations and routines facilitate the student to have high expectations and routines themselves later in life (no evidence at the time)

Wait - seemingly no *value* at the time. All I see is progress 8 this, exam results that. But these things matter. Teachers who do this stuff matter and yet the profession is on its knees because far too many of these teachers leave without a shred of any recognition. Others take it for the stuff that is measurable, but often highly flawed and subjective.

Happy holidays.

Types of runs you can implement in the off-season period

[Kirsty Bundy @BundyKirsty]

Today we explored teaching the cartwheel and how to build it up from bunny hops, using a bench, using throw down hands and feet to the consolidation of the skill through routine development. Some worked individually others in pairs or groups! ⁦@LincolnSportEx⁩

If you have a few moments to listen to this interview as a parent with your child.
Possible one of the best post race interviews I have ever watched #PlayOn

Olympic Life Lessons

#Olympics2024

[Trung Phan @TrungTPhan]

Explainer video on science of why the 400m sprint is considered the most painful track & field event.

And why “no person on the planet can run the 400m all out from start to finish".

The race pushes the way the body creates energy to the limit:

▫️0-50 meters: ATP-CP (energy system for very short and explosive movements; used up after 5-10 seconds)

▫️50-200 meters: Anaerobic glycolysis (burns glucose without oxygen, leading to lactic acid buildup and muscle fatigue)

▫️200-300 meters: Aerobic energy (uses oxygen to break down glucose, but cannot keep up with the demand)

▫️300-400 meters: Anaerobic energy reserves tapped while aerobic energy is too slow to fill the gaps (lactic acid buildup is going HAM)

Track athletes can pace for longer distances and shorter ones are just over quicker (obvs).

The Olympic record is a blazing 43:03, set by South African runner Wayde van Niekerk in 2016 (and 2024 Final race is tomorrow).

[Working with Parents in Sport @_WWPIS]

What dads are for and why parents remain such a key part of an athletes' support network.
Parents still have a key role to play even when their children are adults and reach 18, something we are currently exploring with organisations.
Congratulations, Andrea, on a wonderful week and to @fredsirieix1 for being such a brilliant supporter......
