Rivers of Thinking

Rivers of Thinking

A random mix of rambles from the world of talent and coaching, personal thoughts on learning and the future of youth sport. The content is deliberately aimed at poking, prompting and provoking a few thoughts on what and how you do your stuff! It is here to help you examine some of your own practices and consider how you can improve, through reflection and self-evaluation, as well as being a tool for my own reflective process.
