Was good to be invited to work with the local professional rugby team this week - I've done a lot of these sessions, but I still get anxious in them
I attended a funeral this week, they are always very sad especially when it's unexpected.
I always notice that they bring families and friends together - you should always attend to support your friends and family, this is when they need you the most.
I don't mean for this to sound trite, and I apologise if it comes across this way, but I always get a small sense of gratitude that I'm not the one in the box.
Training started very well this week, I took some progress photos ( underrated motivation tip ) which weren't terrible 😉 but tailled off due to the above funeral being held at the Irish centre in Leeds
I'll pull it back
Harrison is completely over his operation, such a strong kid he amazes me on a daily basis. Though I'm sad we haven't been able to burn off much steam in the park due to the weather, I don't think his mother would be impressed if we moved to Australia with his Uncle Tdog
This week I need to get back to journalling, I think it's helping me you know, I've missed it this week.
Still been watching Baseball docos on Netflix, don't worry I'm not going to become one of those British American sports nuts, I'll always be a grumpy Wednesday fan
For a coaching take away point of view one take away came from one of my clients travelling to centre parcs this weekend, I asked her what was on the menu - without going into the response my reply was
I don't expect a weekend away to be 10/10 but I can't accept a 2/10
Meaning yea, have a drink with your friends but don't neglect vegetables protein and movement while you're away
Mani from the Stone Roses passing has also been really sad, he was a hero of mine
I saw him in a pub in Manchester once but was too shy to say hello
Kind regards - I hope you have a good week.
