Coach like Atticus Finch — Master Engagement
I recently worked with a CrossFit gym owner and coaches. I have never done CrossFit. Any success we had seemed to come from simplicity and a dash of Atticus Finch. It didn't come from stylish programming and shiny new things, but from considering the peer coaches pers

Mr. Dean. What a ! As a trained teacher and sports coach of many different varieties I am a little underwhelmed by the Sport Australia ecosystem and not pointing the finger at anyone but me and my own lack of drive when compared to Mr. Dean. Certainly us teacher's in were hammered with Arnold's "In, about, and, through" the 'physical' (joy of movement). But read about Mr. Dean here who lives it in spades... I'm sure he would not get a look in as an executive in any of our national governing sport's boards though. Yet, I am seeing and feeling true here. What can we learn about true in the lead-up to from this vibrant learning community??? Gunny
How an 'overwhelming' desire to ride has transformed life for kids in remote Yarralin
A year ago there were no working bikes in the remote Northern Territory community of Yarralin. Then a new teacher moved to town and started the first bike club — and the impacts have been immense.

Dear , teachers, and, caring adults, This is what I do...
The 'off-season', pandemic, or summer break, has hopefully created a time for working 'on' the sports business rather than busily surviving 'in' it.
As the winter season player registration posts are now coming out a month even before the usual furore of Easter Eggs at supermarkets, how is your club guiding a focus on the much-lauded ideals of participation, development and performance?
If it helps, the 'player development framework' and the 5Cs of are guiding coaching practice at South's Junior Magpies of Rugby League Brisbane tradition.
It is well worth with wherever you sit in the Sport Australia landscape.
And by the way, come and fly the magpie way!!!
Any coaches, teachers, leaders of any code or context are welcome in a collaborative spirit. Contact me/us anytime...
Any new coaches are welcome in our successfully growing learning environment!
Happy New Year and 'fight the good fight' for our future!!!
Yours in learning,
Gunny

Dear , , practitioners, and caring humans (especially Victorians), This is what I do...
I and exercise physiologist Thomas Cosgrove MBA are honoured to be representing at this cracking conference with below practical session Feb 18, 2022, MCG and National Tennis Centre.
TITLE - Be brave: incorporating ‘contact’ confidence & competence in physical education
ABSTRACT - QLD HPE teachers often scratch their heads hearing interstate peers talking about how ‘rough’ rugby (league or union) is. “Have you not really considered contact in AFL?” is often my response. The reality is many invasion sports like netball, soccer, basketball, and lacrosse to name a few, incorporate combat spatial and postural positioning skills. As HPE teachers we know that all sports can be incorporated safely with full planning and consideration. Thus, be brave and use the AC: HPE curriculum to shape your learners’ contact confidence and competence with help from this practical session focusing on scaffolded athletic combat skills
An absolute smorgasbord of opportunities attached from Amanda Telford and the team. Get amongst it!

Kimberley Washington remember when we discussed this or anyone else willing to listen to my often ill-received diatribe?
Happy to say I ran out of the Roosters dressing rooms, and great to see the team developing humanity.
And so many thanks go to all of the amazing sponsors of all community endeavours.
