About the Sport Principle The 80/20 principle is well known: 80% of insurance claims are made by 20% of claimants; 80% of road traffic accidents are caused by 20% of drivers; 80% of wages are earned by 20% of workers; 80% of alcohol is drunk by 20% of drinkers, etc. The variables don’t matter here.

At CVM we are focused on sharing the good news of Jesus to as many men as we can. So, in light of that, I decided to put together a three blog series to help us stay in the fight and keep Jesus front and centre during lockdown. This is number 2. I was looking […]
About the Sport Principle Rugby League is essentially a very simple (and brilliant) sport in its aims and objectives: gain territory. That’s it. Everything is geared to winning ground and moving forward. This principle reminds me of a brilliant book called ‘extreme ownership’ about US Navy Seals in Iraq by Jocho Willink (all elite special […]

Standing at the beginning of 2021 is no different from standing at the beginning of any other year. We cannot tell the future and there is not one who could have predicted the world being shut down. So where do we go from here? I started to list all the negatives, deaths, lost businesses, stretched […]
“I’M NOT A PERSONAL TRAINER?!” I qualified as a PT back in 2006 and had such hopes for my new future helping people. In my mind (and the minds of others too), I have never looked like the advertised PT which people see in magazines or down the gym. Even though I was strong and […]

Soon help was at hand as local eskimos saw their plight and started to break the […]
In the first part of this series I listed what are for me the positives of Asperger’s Syndrome. I am all too aware of how the negatives affect me (and others).
