an exhibition featurint a small diorama maze, a photo of the wall featuring the maze and a room that looks like one section of the maze.
the duty of education is to resist.

“I've somewhat renounced the idea of "coach development" because it feels like such a deficit approach, a manifestation of "here, let me help you because you're doing it wrong".”

As true for #SportsCoaching as coach dev — too often, we start with failure, not success.
I always love knowing that you read these so genuinely Andrew 😍 on the days I don't feel like writing, I remember this!
I will present at a conference one day with this image as the entire slide deck
In this episode we explore so many spaces, thinking out loud with #coaching topics like talent development, nonlinear pedagogy and fun.

A wandering, circular conversation about #coaching this time, where I sort of lose hope and then maybe find it again? I don't even know anymore, but I'm realising that my ability to admit that is important.

Another #coaching conversation that brings me hope! This time with a Director of Coaching in Vermont USA, creating the kind of fun that helps everyone learn and grow.
This episode was sparked by a comment on one of my newsletters! What a small world..

I love the notion that we are human becoming (rather than beings, which are static and unchanging and only now), so my ~fortnightly newsletter is now 🌿 The Thought Garden 🌿 which is a more accurate way to describe the open, genuine, expressive way I write now 🥹

I've been (dangerously) keeping a "why bother" tally recently... three days in and we're up to 15 🥴😂
according to the terms of our previous 'alcohol | think again' partnership, I am going to say no... 🫠
"I want to be captivating, not captive to what people think we should do, be, write."
A journey through joy, creativity and criticism this time 💫

A different kind of end of 2024 review, which is a mini essay of my joy, exasperation, growth and frustration. This thunderstorm is taking a breath and starting again ⛈️🥲

hahahahah this is too accurate
This topic ran away from me 😉
Another winding road of thought about wearables, running, goal setting, handstands.. you know, things that clearly go together 🤸🏻

oh no don't remind me, it's that time of year here!
Ohhhh I love the firestarter analogy!! 🔥
You'll find the questions below, and I would absolutely love to hear how you ponder them!
Some of my favourite answers included:
"Hardcore immesion"
"Oh I don't know but"
"What they need for engagement might be different and that's okay"
"There's so much out there I don't know, yet!"
#ASANConference2024 is always a highlight of my year, but I really challenged myself this time!
I hosted a symposium called "Tending to Your Own Backyard: More Questions than Answers about Learning & Assessment"
The premise? Let's get comfortable asking questions we don't know the answers too...
Really looking forward to this!
Fascinating, wide ranging conversation — the Constraints Collective (not on bluesky, yet, AFAIK) discuss #nonlinearity, #Coaching, #CoachDevelopment and #TalentDevelopment with skillacqlascu.bsky.social

Ohhh I do love that line, like most I quoted it from someone else so I love that it lives on with you!
One of my favourites lately is a Tim Ingold quote: “enough with words, its time to meet the world” (get out and do something)
One of my favourite things about recording podcasts is how much I get to learn in the moment!
“Thoughts are not facts” is a phrase I use a lot now, and I’m so glad this project exists so I can help other coaches unpack psychology too 🤲

What I would give to see this!! 🤩
"it’s an interesting time now because everybody’s speaking a different language from their own epistemology, from their own ways of knowing.
People are in bad relation. So the big theme is, how do we bring ourselves & the world back into right relation?"

Ever wondered "what needs to be real" when designing training sessions? #coaching
Lately, I've been using four concepts: our intentions, actions, information and interactions.. with some fun story telling!

the suspense was killing me for a second there!

Is it a webinar? Is it a live podcast recording? Bit of both! I was joined by some epic guests to do some myth-busting and hope-building around women and girls in sport 🤸🏻♀️

Had so much fun exploring the role of session planning in sports coaching, alongside the events that made us into the coaches that we are today 📖
