Take a look at the impact and response of community sport clubs and volunteers to Covid-19 and ongoing restrictions at: …rts-volunteer-research-network.org.uk/2020/09/01/the…

@BenIves1 @DrLauraGale one for our project

@LoisAxson @matthewsyed It’s baffling. The insights have reshaped how I view “talent”. A nice academic paper to chew alongside is Christine Green (2005) Towards a Normative Theory of Sports Development, journal of sports management.

@MmuDevt @matthewsyed It’s arriving on weds! Along with Range. I was pondering which to start first but Bounce it is, Thankyou 🙌🏼

Found this absolutely fascinating 📖 @matthewsyed #rebelideas #diversethinking

Hope the first two weeks has been fun for the Sport distance learning students @ManMetUni : had nearly all my first 1-2-1 personal tutor catch ups. A genuine pleasure to start this learning journey with such a great collective ps my latest new paper out!

@missabbymiles @mattyvenables21 @DaleRead4 Told Sam about this - she’s delighted.

@MmuDevt @mattyvenables21 @DaleRead4 Will do! I filled the scan and deliver form earlier to get the read Class, Sports, and Social Development by Richard Gruneau (1999-01-06) - chapter 2 😃

Just completed some research on RAE to compare professional football clubs for their academy and senior teams. Across four elite squads the majority of youth academy teams are made up of those born in the earlier months of an academic year... interesting! @MmuDevt

@LoisAxson @missabbymiles @sportsscipod Thanks Lois. Great to have you part of this vibrant community

@missabbymiles @MmuDevt David Epstein talks about this on a @sportsscipod episode, really interesting. Awesome podcast series too 😃

@DaleRead4 @missabbymiles @mattyvenables21 Thanks Dr R

@MmuDevt @missabbymiles @mattyvenables21 RAEs exist in pretty much all sports (including netball) unfortunately. onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/abs/10.111… . Talent identification is too often focused on the now, lack of long term vision for those Q4 individuals. Too much focus on performance and not development at younger age groups

@missabbymiles @mattyvenables21 @DaleRead4 Boom. Epic text. Dive in

@missabbymiles @mattyvenables21 Ask @DaleRead4 on this @missabbymiles

@mattyvenables21 @MmuDevt I’m so excited to find out more! Just wish I could afford to further read in to journals and articles. As a distance learning student the library resources are limited however with some access to scanning and recieving them😊

Great second online weekend induction day. Really well done all our @MmuDevt student cohort.

We're delighted to be named Sunday Times 'University of the Year for Student Retention.' Congratulations to our whole team for this great recognition of their hard work supporting our students. Read more here: mmu.ac.uk/news-and-event… #GoodUniGuide @thesundaytimes

@WSNet please do let your network know about our degree. We think a distance learning course in this area is unique. Happy to webinar, talk or record a video to provide an overview. Gender is a strong component of the degree

Remember we start on day 2 induction tomorrow. Check your emails. Also consider if you’d like to be a course rep

@GeorgeD04 hi and welcome
