As time has gone on I think I have become more aware of how much of a ‘next’ generation we are living in. Let me explain. I remember sitting in the cinema in Harlow, Essex and literally being speechless as Neo, on the roof top went into bullet time and dropped back as an agent’s […]
In a lot of ways this follows on from my last blog and for me was beautifully summed up in a sentence I read in a book about Asperger’s. What follows might appear as immodest as it is funny: ‘If it wasn’t for aspies the human race would be still sitting around having a meeting […]
About the Sport Principle Together Everyone Achieves More is a great acronym, and it’s absolutely true; but it’s not the whole story: teamwork is essential in sport and in life, but try telling Barcelona fans that it’s all about the team after Messi has just scored five goals in one game!
