🗓️ Through December we’ll be reposting stories from across the year to shine a spotlight on some of the unsung heroes and work going on to make cricket a more inclusive sport... For the first piece, find out about the state comprehensive with a cricket academy rivalling private schools ⬇️ ecb.co.uk/news/4249007/c…

@ryanmouquegolf I occasionally shank a 30 yard high chip - a shot to get over a steep slope or hazard where you need to get up and then land softly. I’ve just ordered the strike wedge. Where would you set it up for this error? Just on outside of ball to prevent that over the top downswing?

Have you seen this training aid before? It could be one of the best things you ever use to improve your ball striking as It helps fix so many swing faults such as: - Fat shots - Shanks - Hitting out of the heel & toe - Slices Let me show you 9 ways it can help you 🧵👇

A final piece of advice from Holly Butcher - written the day before she passed away from cancer at just 27: “It’s a strange thing knowing you’re going to die young. At 26, I thought I had time… To fall in love. Start a family. Grow old. But cancer doesn’t care about plans. Now, I understand how fragile life really is. Every single day is a gift, not a guarantee. I’m not writing this to scare you. I’m writing to remind you: really live. Stop stressing over little things. Be kind to your body- move it, nourish it, stop criticizing it. One day you’ll wish you had appreciated it. Go outside. Look at the sky. Feel the sun. Just be. Spend less time chasing “stuff” - more time making memories. Don’t skip moments with people you love. Laugh more. Write a note. Tell someone you love them. Complain less. Give more. Helping others brings more joy than anything you can buy. Be present. Put your phone down. Show up - really show up. You don’t need to have it all figured out. You don’t need a perfect body, or a perfect life. Just follow what makes your heart light up. Say no to what drains you. Make changes when you need to. And please - donate blood. I wouldn’t have had that extra year without it. And that year gave me memories I’ll hold close… forever. Thank you for reading this. Live your life well. And maybe… we’ll meet again someday.” Holly 🩷 Repost & share Holly’s important advice. ❤️

Sport. Wow.

One for you @148Matt

After such a successful podcast with @PhilRelf70 we release his coach’s corner episode and see more followers and listeners joining us. Please keep tuning in, listening, and sharing with others. We would love to hear/read your comments or views. 🎙️🏏

Really enjoyed talking coaching and cricket on this. Went all over the place and I rambled on a bit but hopefully the odd takeaway for someone. Thanks for the invite and the insightful questioning! Realise I say the word “fortunate” a lot!

@JPR_25 Never really thought he would approach things like that. Shows we don’t ever know what’s going on internally with these guys. Pressure. Maybe it’s easy sitting here saying we’d never coach like this. Might be that he has done it strategically for a response.

*scenes also seen at so many grassroots football clubs…. Don’t be someone’s last coach!

@gjoycey @HurstmerePE Unbelievable effort. Thousands of kids would have benefited from this man’s passion, dedication and expertise. Enjoy the next adventure. Legend.

@HurstmerePE Thank you all, I have had so many great years at Hurstmere as well as the 10 years before that at Thanesmead. Really excited about my next adventure. Joycey ✋😊🤚❤️

Mr Joyce completed his last PE lesson today before his retirement after an amazing 24 years! A great innings from a great man! All the best Joycey 🔴⚪️

@chrisnash23 Add to that a very similar set of pundits without any evidence of recent players adding value for viewer. Tired and pretty mundane commentary. If anything BBC edging it.

It is just my opinion so very irrelevant but so far the 💯 is just the same Blast players names thrown into a hat, new teams are created and a load of money is spent on what is effectively the Blast, without the history, millions of £s of marketing and average overseas players?

What a success story @MrWeller_PE is - true CA cricket legend. Thanks again

An alumni day for @CantAcadTrust cricketers. Lovely to see the old guard back. Thanks to everyone @Chestfield_CC who helped to make it happen. So many clubs represented. @TheShrimpsCC @WhitstableCC @LordswoodCC @GravesendCC1880 @motecricket @MinsterCricket @BroadstairsCC

I Wanna Be Adored The Stone Roses This is absolutely epic

Brilliant insight and what mental strength from Simon Kerrigan. Shining example of resilience and will undoubtedly strenghen the bank of knowledge and empathy when he coaches. Go well.

@AndyMitten @LisandrMartinez That’s a great interview and only happens if the player trusts the journalist. Fair play @AndyMitten for building the rapport to get that honesty. Got to love Lisandro Martinez. Got to love Manchester United.

Interviewed @LisandrMartinez after the game. He likes to sing.

Got to admit it, the first time I cried after a United goal. Ten men. Backs to the wall. Genius of a goal from a young player. The pass from Hughes is also class.

A brilliant story and something for our school to be incrediby proud of. @KentCrusadersBB are worth looking into for best practice community AND advanced development of players. Well done @AdamDavies06 and @Coachsazant for the hard yards, passion and expertise involved.

@Malachians Young players all over pitch. Got to be expected.

I don't want to be reactionary but i'm looking for reasons to believe and i'm running out of them. Ten Hag has had some wretched luck and Utd have made his job as difficult as possible but you can't continue like this. Manchester United can not be 2 points ahead of West Ham in April, they have to be able to do more than just have a decent 45 minutes every week. They defend like children, they're incapable of controlling possession and i can't say with any confidence that even if Utd had most of their players fit it would be any different.

What a great achievement for Jaydn Denly. Proud moment for a fantastic family. Go well.

This has been a brilliant experience for @CantAcadTrust So much to love about Sri Lanka as a place to travel and play cricket. Wonderful people who love their cricket and have gone above and beyond to help us. Thanks to @VenatourSchools for setting it up so well.
