I can’t believe, a decade after writing ‘Paralympic Heroes,’ which documented some of the indignities athletes were subjected to in the early days of the Games, @Tanni_GT had to crawl off a train in the UK. No one, ever, should have to do this.

At 22.17 (train got in at 22.02) I decided to crawl off. Had to move all my stuff onto the platform. Member of cleaning staff offered to help. They’re not insured.

Graham Thorpe wasn’t only one of cricket, and sport’s, greats he was a truly wonderful, kind, generous man. Truly shocked to read this news. All thoughts are with his family💔

It is with great sadness that we share the news that Graham Thorpe, MBE, has passed away. There seem to be no appropriate words to describe the deep shock we feel at Graham's death.

Privileged to be a part of the first @JETS4Jockeys two-day course to educate and support young jockeys in their media and social media use. Fantastic group to work with - looking forward to seeing where they go next #socialmedia #Jockey

I feel grateful to work with such impressive young players and for the support @LFEonline has so consistently provided in this area. The safest athletes are educated ones #socialmedia

Such a privilege to speak at @WorldPlayersUtd on such a important topic #PlayerDevelopment
World Players (@WorldPlayersWPA) profile pictureWorld Players@WorldPlayersWPA28 Jun 2022
Reflections on #PDC22 from @WoodCathy ⬇️ Cathy, founder of Athlete Angel, spoke on the disproportionate & overwhelming amounts of online abuse experienced by female athletes & why "the safest athlete is an educated one."📱 #PlayerDevelopment

As such, I was grateful to be invited to speak on the way in which female athletes are abused on social media and for the receptiveness and respect of the audience. It was also a privilege to hear so many other great speakers share their experience and wisdom." - Cathy Wood, Founder, Athlete Angel

Love this - ‘Any useful statement about the future should at first look ridiculous’ @Reannabrowne @WorldPlayersUtd #PlayerDevelopment

In the future we can expect to see athletes as ‘data packs’, where they are analysed 24 hours a day, and as content creators @Reannabrowne @WorldPlayersUtd #PlayerDeveiopmemt
