Interactive Workshops Developing an Optimal Coaching Environment – Dr Chris Harwood How do you go about creating an optimal coaching environment? What structures have you put in place? How do you communicate your vision, values and skills with your athletes?

Specifically, Ian will explore the science of training, adaptation, inflammation, periodisation, low glycogen training, stress and metabolic processes.

  • BLM Statement Final Branded
    Sport and recreation sector commit to tackling inequality The appalling death of George Floyd, the global protests that have followed and the powerful message of the Black Lives Matter movement has made every section of society take notice and confront an ugly truth. Sport and recreation has an influential role to bring about meaningful change and this period has rightly led the sector to reflect, listen, question, learn and openly discuss how to take positive action. It is acknowledged that up to this point, we have not done enough. It is time to confront racism and inequality that exists across sport, from grassroots participation through to the boardroom. Research by the Sport and Recreation Alliance (2018) showed that four in ten (40%) of BAME participants have endured a negative experience in sport or physical activity settings, more than double that of white participants. A 2020 Sport England report demonstrates that just over 50% of black people in England meet the recommended levels of physical activity each week. The Diversity in Sport Governance report (2018/19) identified there is only 5% BAME board representation across Sport England and UK Sport funded organisations. Constructive work has already been started to address a number of these problems including a committed effort to increase boardroom diversity, additional funding to tackle inequality and an array of inspiring inclusiveness projects from across the sport and recreation sector. This can only be seen as the start. Systemic change must be made at all levels so that we can become truly reflective of our wonderfully diverse society. We can no longer rely on black role models at the elite level speaking out, we must join together to become better and to support every member of the sport and recreation community.

  • Competitive School Sport Summary Report
    National Governing Bodies of Sport Survey Competitive School Sport Summary Report June 2014 Prepared by the TOP Foundation for Ofsted SportPark, Loughborough University, 3 Oakwood Drive, Loughborough, LE11 3QF NGB Competitive School Sport Investigation Summary Report Executive Summary In the spring of 2014 an investigation commissioned by Ofsted explored the school backgrounds, ethnicity and socioeconomic status of some of our best adult and age group international sport teams. The same investigation asked 29 National Governing Bodies of sport (NGBs) to report on their competitive school sport provision in 39 different sports; 26 (90%) NGBs agreed to take part and they reported on 35 sports. This NGBs report is part of a wider investigation being undertaken by Ofsted into competitive school sport for Her Majesty’s Chief Inspector of Education, Children’s Services and Skills (HMCI), Sir Michael Wilshaw, which includes a supporting report with input from headteachers. This investigation collated 6 different sets of data on the known school backgrounds of: i. Current international representatives from 14 sports (n=224) ii. London 2012 Olympic Team (n=279) iii. London 2012 Paralympic Team (n=106) iv. Players competing in national leagues in 5 sports (n=543) v. UK Sport’s Athlete Insights Survey: Olympic sports (n=606) vi. UK Sport’s Athlete Insights Survey: Paralympic sports (n=247). Analysis showed similar trends across the different data sets. The 2 Paralympic data sets provided a mean of 81% for athletes attending state schools only, 13% for independent schools only and 3% for both types of school. The 2 Olympic data sets provided a mean of 66% for athletes attending state schools only, 22% for independent schools only and 6% for both types of school.

  • Tennis in London a Report by the London Assembly’S Economic Development and Planning Committee
    Economic Development and Planning Tennis in London A report by the London Assembly’s Economic Development and Planning Committee January 2005 Tennis in London A report by the London Assembly’s Economic Development and Planning Committee January 2005 copyright Greater London Authority January 2005 Published by Greater London Authority City Hall The Queen’s Walk London SE1 2AA www.london.gov.uk enquiries 020 7983 4000 minicom 020 7983 4458 Cover Photograph Junior Programme at Westway © Westway Sports Centre, 2004 ISBN 1 85261 687 3 This document is printed on recycled paper Foreword Earlier this year, the London Assembly’s Culture Sport and Tourism Committee met with Sport England and the LTA to discuss tennis in London. Using the Wimbledon Championships as our starting point, the Committee investigated how this world famous tournament can help to promote tennis at a grass roots level within the capital. We also considered access to tennis courts in London, highlighted projects which encourage young people to get involved in tennis (such as the Westway Tennis centre), and examined how the Mayor, Sport England and the LTA can encourage more Londoners to pick up a racquet. At present, this year’s Wimbledon Championships seem a long way away. However, as this report points out, planning needs to start now if we are to translate the excitement of the annual Wimbledon Championships into greater opportunities for Londoners to get more active. And with support for London’s 2012 Olympic bid building, London needs to demonstrate active encouragement for grassroots participation in tennis. Responsibility for investigating issues associated with sport in London has now passed to the Economic Development and Planning Committee.

  • Press Release
    Press Release FRIDAY 25 JANUARY 2019 LTA PUBLISHES REPORT FROM INDEPENDENT REVIEW INTO EVENTS AT WREXHAM TENNIS CENTRE Independent Review into safeguarding was commissioned by the LTA Board following the conviction and subsequent imprisonment of the former Head Coach at WTC. Report concludes that parties failed to properly recognise safeguarding concerns. Review Chair Christopher Quinlan QC states he is confident that if a similar situation arose today it would be handled differently and more effectively by the LTA safeguarding team. The Lawn Tennis Association (LTA) has today published a report following a wide-ranging Independent Review led by Christopher Quinlan QC and administered by Sport Resolutions (UK) into events at Wrexham Tennis Centre (WTC) between 2012 and 2017. The Review was commissioned by the LTA Board in December 2017, following the conviction and subsequent imprisonment of the former Head Coach at WTC in July 2017. The Review set out to learn from the facts surrounding the events: to ensure that any failings at the relevant time are brought to light and that lessons are learned, and similar failings are not repeated in the future. The Review was also tasked with providing recommendations to the LTA and, where appropriate, Tennis Wales and WTC, to improve and strengthen safeguarding arrangements in tennis. In summary the report concludes that WTC failed properly to address a number of historic complaints made about the behaviour of coaches at the Centre, including the former Head Coach. The WTC internal investigation carried out in 2012 was found to be insufficient and serious concerns raised by parents and coaches were not adequately addressed at the time or subsequently.
