I am delighted to announce that my debut book, Champion Thinking: How to Find Success Without Losing Yourself, will be out on January 18th 2024... and is now available for pre-order. Published by Bloomsbury, it draws on my conversations with the likes of Jonny Wilkinson, Caitlyn Jenner, Goldie Sayers, Emotional Intelligence author and psychologist Daniel Goleman and philosopher Rupert Spira. I get sent a lot of books about being successful for the Life Lessons podcast. But why do people desire success so much? Wealth? Approval? Status? One thing is definitely clear. ‘Success’ is not synonymous with peace, happiness and fulfilment. Many people have climbed their proverbial Everest only to be left feeling empty. It didn’t provide the lasting internal satisfaction that they were really seeking. So, where is true and lasting fulfilment to be found if not in trophies, winning, the big house, fat pay cheque and ‘success’? This is what I really wanted to explore, because I think there is a big gap in the way we view this sort of thing culturally, and I want to shine a light on it. In Champion Thinking, I argue that we are looking in the wrong direction and what we are really seeking is so close that we tend to overlook it. I’m really proud of this book, and super excited that it will soon be out in the world. Please do like and share this post if you feel so inclined – I would be very grateful. And if you resonate with any of the above – let me know in the comments below 🙏

This video from 2018 is on the BBC's website and says, "Gary is not involved in any news or political output for the BBC, and as such, any expression of his personal political views, does not affect the BBC's impartiality." What changed in 2023? #IStandWithGaryLineker

This is dynamite from Kaveh Solhekol on Sky Sports News. Absolutely nails it. He has the Tories and BBC on toast. Well done!! 👏 Take 2 mins and watch👇#garylineker #ImWithGary #MOTD #ToryFascists

@C_GLENN_PE @ABarnesPE These are honestly great! Sorry to add another email but these would definitely get used. wsmith@cws.foliotrust.uk

Black History Month is next month and our placement school asked if @ABarnesPE and I could make posters for them. Barnsey was on info gathering and I was on graphic duty. They look alright if you ask me👀

@pe_enthusiast Will be using SOCS to track for the first time this year. Have used it before with fixtures and it’s really good and simple to use, so I’m hoping tracking attendance will be the same. It does cost though.

Right Twitter help me out here. I’ve never really kept a register of XC attendance. Starting a new role in September and it’s vital I do so. What’s the easiest way? Open to all suggestions but it must be easy and practical. Do you thing……

Record breaking from start to finish 🤩 The #WEURO2022 final has become the ALL-TIME most-attended match at either a men's or women's EURO final tournament 👏👏👏

Sunak's tragedy is that, thanks to Brexit cultery, client journalism & Johnson's filthy coat-tails, he got all the way to Chancellor without ever having to answer difficult questions. When he is required to, the mask slips quick & the arrogant condescension kicks in quicker.

A quiet, powerful movement has started, it should be the loudest voice in education - by schools for schools @well_schools. Where would you draw the line ?

How this has been allowed to happen is just ridiculous. I would refuse to race and hope that the other women would stand with me on this too. This is totally unfair. The advantages a trans women has had from going through puberty as a boy to a man can never been undone.

@WillSmithPE Jonny does love to go deep doesn't he Will. thanks for flagging

A very very interesting listen. Definitely worth grabbing a cuppa or going for a walk while taking this in. @WillSwaithes I think you’d enjoy.
