Surrey Youth Games – Fiona Manning. Listen to Fiona talk about the Surrey Youth Games – “Fun”. (Approx. 6 minutes).
The Surrey Youth Games is an amazing opportunity to learn a new sport for free. Last year I chose to learn squash for Surrey Youth Games. I had 7 lessons and was picked for the team, even though I was a beginner. Going to the tournament was fun but slightly scary! I felt amazing when I won my first match, and it was even better when our team got the bronze medal. I think everyone should sign up for Surrey Youth Games, even if you haven’t done the sport before, because it’s a great opportunity to get active and find a sport that you may enjoy.

Some thought provoking numbers.
When you consider Usain Bolt’s strengths when running the 100m race, what do these figures potentially mean?
Mo Farah running the 10000m, what do the energy system percentages mean when you consider his typical winning race?
Post a comment – let’s discuss.

As coaches we observe our athletes. We observe their performances; their technique; their strategies. We think about what could be better. We break things down to work on making these improvements. We breakdown:
• Technique.
• Competition strategy.
• Lifestyle.
• Physical preparation.
• Our plan.
• Our goals.
But what about building-up? Perhaps with our focus on, “fixing” by breaking things down, we are losing sight of building-up. Building-up:
• Confidence.
• Success.
• Motivation.
• Our Coach / Athlete relationship.
• Our athlete’s ability to accept more responsibility for their own development.
• Enjoyment.
Breaking-down without building-up, might just leave us with broken.
