Our new book Reimagining Talent Development in Sport brings together some radical ideas about the need to re-think talent development. We need to build a world in which the holistic development of the young person is at the heart of all talent systems. @emilyryall

Tarlair Pool is one of the most beautiful sea pools in the world. Abandoned since 1995, it’s now in the care of a community-led charity, who have restored the 1931 #ArtDeco pavilion and plan to bring the whole site back into use.

As soon as I can work out how to I’m deleting Twitter - it’s been a good run but now there is just such crap being promoted on it it’s just a waste of time - Where should I go?

We need to be very clear.
There was NO vote yesterday in Parliament to add an Inquiry into child sexual exploitation to the Children's Wellbeing Bill.
The only vote was on whether to throw the whole Bill out (See below)
Any politician or media saying otherwise is lying to you.

Two papers.
On the left, a non-randomized, non-crossover study showing that a one-off sauna exposure significantly decreased arterial stiffness, with implications on cardiovascular health.
On the right, a randomized, crossover (more robust) study, showing no benefits on arterial stiffness or blood flow. Note the colossal difference in Altmetric score and media attention.
The media favors sensational but flawed studies over rigorous ones, distorting public understanding. #science #media

Study demonstrates relationship of daily step 👣 counts to all-cause mortality and cardiovascular 🫀events.
Minimal dose to significantly reduce the risk for adverse outcomes was 2,517 steps/d walking 🚶🏽♀️ for all-cause mortality and 2,735 steps/d for incident cardiovascular disease.
The optimal dose, defined as the maximal risk reduction at the least effort, was established at 8,763 steps/d for all-cause mortality and 7,126 steps/d for incident CVD. @ACCinTouch #exercise #health sciencedirect.com/science/ar…
