The Modern Pentathlon event will take place with "lasers" in 2012 with safety and cost being sited as issues. Whilst reducing cost is obviously a big concern, safety issues must surely be for spectators not the competitors?

Otherwise the equestrian event make look more like this:

I am often asked "What do you actually do?" One of my contracts is with Bath University and the South West Talent programme. A case study of one of the guys I have been working with is uploaded here.

The newsletter also highlights some of the Coaching programme I will be involved with.

This programme is an excellent example of Administrators, Coaches, Parents, Physiotherapists and Athletes working well together. The ones that have been regulars are showing real progress.

If you have invested heavily in researching the Olympic lifts and read research conducted on mediocre athletes or sports science students over a 6 week period, then you may have to justify their use at all times.

This could be an emotional attachment. You then look to seek out others with your point of view and add confrimation bias to this. If this happens to be Academics, then they will only publish work that confirms their views, and get undergraduates, and Phd students to do likewise.

Well done to Dan James (far left) and Robin Williams (kneeling far right)for their efforts in helping the England blind football team finish fourth in the World Cup.  I have trained both players through their TASS funding.

Robin especially has made vast improvements this year, and will hopefully benefit from a productive off season.  Dan has consistently been the fittest player on the squad over the last 2 years.
