@FIH_Hockey This is great news… with time, investment and the player potential in Pakistan there is opportunity….

FIH can confirm that the Pakistan men’s hockey team, nicknamed the Green Shirts, have accepted the invitation to participate in the upcoming 2025-26 season of the #FIHProLeague. Read the full story below 👇

A great opportunity, at a great time in coaching in the UK performance sphere. uksport.gov.uk/global/jobs/sp…

⁦@DrKateHays⁩ has a book!! Will enjoy a new bedtime read from someone who has consistently helped to enable winning at the highest levels of sport… Insight from experience aplenty I’m sure. Thanks Kate for the copy 🙏

@Jattaylor A good starting point for discussing some of the contemporary narrative around what an effective coach does...and what it is to coach?

"The present study disputes the argument that all the decisions made by the coach must have the player as the central focus, suggesting that this is not representative of the reality of coaching" Castro & Morgan (2025) doi.org/10.1080/174089…

@SamanthaQuek gutted for you. Saturdays won’t be the same. Proud of you champ.

Proof that the sun does indeed exist.

@MorrisCraig_ @russellearnshaw @dannynewcombe 🙏

@Danny_Kerry @russellearnshaw @dannynewcombe He even washed them for this one Danny!

Out of office on… @dannynewcombe 🧠

@russellearnshaw Indeed… 👀😉

@Danny_Kerry And coaches that can do it on the pitch…

The game judges your training... how are you developing problem-solving players and how many coaches practice/seek feedback on their match day craft? Pre-mortem might beat post-mortem (you need both obv.)🧠

@Jattaylor You mean performance and result is a combination of both athlete and coach performance?! Who knew 😉

Non-dichotomous position for on pitch decision making. It is never all player, nor all coach.

@russellearnshaw Problem solving players and the environment that helps to create them is another important topic!

@russellearnshaw I witnessed many times Eddie Jones working with his coaches to observe games (being shown live on TV) and ask questions as to what & how would be the most important messages now to players if we were coaching this game. IMO it was good stuff.

@Bob__Muir Many congratulations @Bob__Muir 🙌

Great to return from holiday & find this! To all the coaches who welcomed me into their work over the past 15 years, thank you. So many of the ideas offered reflect the time & energy you brought to our collaborative experiments in professional learning! routledge.com/9781032140933

Thank-you ⁦@codyroyle⁩ Very much appreciated. I enjoyed the interview, and look forward to exploring what you have captured and reflected on from others. 🤛

@MorrisCraig_ @slalom_burgess @kim_woods_95 If it ain’t raining it ain’t training 😉

‘Be nice to be back coaching in London eh’, they said! 🌧️💧🙄@slalom_burgess @kim_woods_95

@webtwozero @FIH_Hockey 😬😂

@Danny_Kerry @FIH_Hockey Johnsons Baby Oil needed for Goalie Pads too?

For environmental sustainability reasons, FIH announced some years ago the importance of hockey moving away from watering artificial turf and working with the turf industry to develop surfaces that no longer need to be watered. The first ever FIH #Hockey5s World Cup, currently being played in Oman, is also the first global FIH tournament to be played on one of these new, non-watered surfaces - a significant step forwards for the sport. As part of efforts to reproduce as closely as possible the aspects of watered turf that give athletes the opportunity to showcase their skills, during the tournament the FIH is testing a completely new ball technology. In another first, the tournament is being played with innovative new “wet balls”, developed by scientists from the University of Ghent in Belgium. In simple terms, these balls absorb some water when being submerged before each match, which is then released in tiny drops as the ball rolls across the surface, resulting in a thin layer of water between the ball and the surface, and also between the stick and the ball. This significantly improves the smoothness of hockey skills during play on the dry turf. Whilst this technology is being thoroughly assessed on an ongoing basis, the first feedback, from the players, is very positive. “The idea of a wet ball to use on a dry pitch is very innovative. It has come at a very good time for us as it fits with our goal of minimising hockey’s impact on the environment, by using much less water to play our sport. I believe we are moving in the right direction”, said FIH President Tayyab Ikram. #Sustainability
