I'm leaving Twitter today. Anyone who is interested in my writing can find me on Substack https://t.co/nt1V7WsHeZ Anyone interested in sports coaching and athletic development, I'm on Threads/ Instagram @excelsioradclub Thanks to everyone who's shared great content here.

A dense, descriptive novel with bucketfuls of similes. I found it too much at times. Parts of it are brilliant. #amreading

Appointing a female head coach is, apart from everything else, a very simple calculation of self-interest. A club like Forest Green Rovers could get the 90th-highest-rated male coach in England. Or it could get probably the highest-rated English female coach. I know what I'd do

Hey, @RoyalNavy have a word about the tautology here, please. #SecretInvasion

Here's Gabby's snatch p.b. from Saturday. All 3 of our weightlifters got p.b.s in the competition. Progress for them all. #turnupstandtalltryhard #weightlifting

Another re-read, following on from Aldiss (who is mentioned in here a few times). Funny, insightful and well-written essays, articles and speeches about writing and life. #amreading

I re-read this over the weekend. An entertaining read about this prolific author's writing life. I suspect that it's out of print now. Like so many good books. #amreading

Gabby in the zone before she snatches (got a p.b,) looking pleased after she wins next to the nervous boys and I make a friend. Well done to our lifters who competed today. That platform is a lonely place. Good support behind it.

Top 5 reads for the summer https://t.co/o7vgjOacP1 (my recommendations from the books I have read so far this year). #amreading

The two boys on the left were born on the same day. The one on the right was born 5 months earlier. They all compete in the same age category in athletics. Comparison between them is meaningless. We focus on skill, structural integrity and individual progress.

One of our gymnasts' dad has decided to get in shape. Here are his lifts in his 4th session. No prior experience. We are trying to build a healthy community in Willand: that means encouraging families to be active together. #turnupstandtalltryhard #weightlifting

Making shapes at our club. Children solving problems that I set. Learning collaboration and improving their structural integrity.

A fantasy about language used in a nineteenth century Oxford college to help the British Empire and a resistance to it. Overlong by 50 pages. #amreading

https://t.co/n3tRG6tj8V the only surprise is that it took 2 years! Other sports should take note.

Really proud to say that my magazine (CandleLit) is now featured on @Pen_to_Print’s website as a guest publication. This will do wonders for our reach! Thank you Pen to Print for this opportunity 💜 https://t.co/pZZGUe3HVx #amreading #readingcommunity

Loved this! Not on my radar, I don't like Fleetwood Mac and the cover is horrible. I wouldn't have picked it up without @catherinecoe 's recommendation. I borrowed it from my daughter, Daisy. Very glad that I did. #amreading

Note to self heavy (for me) front squats are not conducive to balancing on a paddle board the next day... #stilllearning

An original idea about a fascinating subject. The novel didn't click for me though. #amreading
