5 years ago today I passed my PhD viva… on Teams… in lockdown…

I believe I celebrated by doing arrow words in the garden for the afternoon and then having Zoom drinks with my partner and some friends in the evening…

How very 2020!

As is my lockdown hair in this photo… 😂

Five years… time flies!

First leg, the semi-final 💙 COYS!

After spending most of my career to date focused on and working in the academic side of sport and exercise psychology, I'm excited to now be starting my professional accreditation on the BASES SEPAR pathway! #SEPiT

RIP Warren ‘Woz’ Wilson. 1971-2025 🖤

Woz played & recorded with Spear of Destiny in the 1990s and more recently teamed up again with Kirk Brandon for some shows with The Pack. I took this pic at one of those in Manchester last year. Very sad news.

#RIP #WarrenWilson #SpearofDestiny #ThePack

Warren ‘Woz’ Wilson to the music world 🎸
Always and forever our Uncle Warren 💔
Toasting a tinny (or few) to you Warren 🍻 - sweet dreams.
Love you loads,

Loved recording this Women’s Football Special podcast episode with @thepalaceone.bsky.social (my wife 😃) - link to listen in the post below ⬇️⬇️

Comprehensive defeat at the NLD today but my favourite moment was when the Arsenal fans were singing North London Forever and the young fan in front of me said ‘they’re the most jarring fanbase ever, oh my god’ - a phrase I’ve never used but I couldn’t agree more…

There’s no doubt @SpursWomen have regressed since last season and yet again it’s down to lack of investment and ambition from the club. Clinton wanted to stay but they didn’t try hard enough to keep her and neither her nor Bizet have been adequately replaced. Not good enough as usual

Here for all things physical activity, exercise, health and fitness, sport, psychology, research & combinations of all the above! Hoping for peak 2012/13 Twitter vibes ☺️😎
