So rewarding to speak at my kids primary school again fpr another intro to sport psychology and the 5Cs. The children were open, curious, attentive and reflective. I can see myself doing more of these...
Class 4 have been discussing sports psychology and ‘The 5Cs’ confidence, control, commitment, communication and concentration. Thank you to Professor Harwood for coming in to discuss this with us and how we can use these in sport, the classroom and everyday life #Class4Swithland

New paper exploring what determines (in)effective post competition parent-child interactions in youth sport! We also explain what CA is, why conversation analysts don't make ontological or epistemological claims, and how CA papers could/should be judged! 🎥🎾🚘

When @nzourba started reading aloud to a wooden parrot and @chrishphd to a wooden princess, I was sceptical. But when @NoceFranco started educating elephants on the benefits of late specialisation in youth sport, I gave up. I know the book is good but… #NoLifeWithoutThisBook
