FEBRUARY 2014 Hatfield Swimming Club Newsletter www.hatfieldswimmingclub.org.uk Swimmer Profile – Jessica Farrow In the second of our swimmer profile series we look at one of our performance 2 girls who has made her name for herself with a Hannah Miley-esque attitude to training where no set is too hard and if her arms and legs start to ache, she just digs a little deeper. How many sessions a week do you swim? “I train seven times a week in the pool”. How many land sessions do you do? “I train twice a week on land” Talk us through how you manage to fit in all your school work around your training and racing The 14 year old Hatfield Star commitments? “Fitting my school work in is quite difficult sometimes especially when I get big projects. I mainly do my little weekly pieces of homework after school or after training and sometimes even at lunch. On the odd occasion, I have to take my homework to the pool and do it when my dad is teaching as I just don't have time to do it at home. When I get homework, I try to do it straight away as then I don't have to worry about trying to fit it in around my training. I have even taken my homework to galas and last year I had to finish of 2 days work of project work on the coach there and back to Cardiff, with the help from my friends!! It is very hard to do my homework , but as I am choosing my options this month, I know that I am going to have to plan ahead Jess bringing a whole new meaning to ‘pink panther’ and try and manage my time between swimming and school work, but it can be done.” Any sayings or motto’s you want to share? Favourite movies? “Behind the athlete you’ve become, the coaches who have pushed you, “DESPICABLE ME!!!!!!!!!! And Pitch Perfect.” friends who have supported you, the medals you have won, Favourite food? and the hours of practice, is the little girl who fell in love “Swedish meatballs, and of course mum’s Sunday with swimming in the first place.” roast!!!” VOL 3. FEBRUARY 2014 Hatfield Swimming Club Newsletter www.hatfieldswimmingclub.org.uk The Influence of Parents in Youth Sport: Ian Wright from: http://www.thesportinmind.com/articles/the-influence-of-parents-in-youth-sport/ We’ve all seen that one parent on the sideline, shouting out inappropriate comments at the top of their voice that are not only directed at their own child, but often at their teammates, teachers or coaches and the referee. How much does this behaviour influence the sporting experience of their child? How much should the parent be involved? It goes without saying that parents have an important role in the sporting development of their child. However, caution needs to be taken in their approach as parental behaviour’s can have both positive and negative effects on their child’s sporting experience.

  • 'Lobby' and the Formative Years of Radio Sports
    ‘Lobby’ and the Formative Years of Radio Sports Commentary, 1935 – 52. Richard Haynes Published in Sport in History, Vol.29, No.1, pp.25-48 ABSTRACT This article traces the professional career and influence on sports broadcasting of Seymour Joly de Lotbiniere, known within the BBC as Lobby. Lobby was the BBC’s Director of Outside Broadcasts from 1935 to 1939, and then again encompassing radio and television from 1946 to 1952, before concentrating on television OBs from 1952-55. He is widely credited with transforming the codes and conventions of radio running commentary as the BBC expanded its radio coverage of sport in the late 1930s and in the immediate post-war years. The article provides a brief biographical sketch of Lobby’s upper-class background and privileged education and how this influenced his eventual career in broadcasting. Drawing on papers held in the BBC Written Archives and on autobiographical accounts of BBC commentators, the article analyses Lobby’s development of the core principles of running commentary, the recruitment and management of commentators and his relations with the producers of sports coverage in Broadcasting House and the BBC’s regional centres. The article concludes that Lobby’s meticulous management and analytical approach to sports commentary had a significant influence on the institutional practices of the BBC’s outside broadcasting department, an influence that continues to reverberate today.

  • Celebrating 300,000 Babies Center for Women and Infants’ Health Patients Pay It Forward 2008 Puttin’ on the Pink Raises Record Amount Alliance of Stars Dear Friends
    Summer 2008 Celebrating 300,000 Babies Center for Women and Infants’ Health Patients Pay it Forward 2008 Puttin’ on the Pink Raises Record Amount Alliance of Stars Dear Friends, For all of the time our foundation devotes to relaying facts and figures about our Harris Methodist hospitals, they often fall on deaf ears. Perhaps we would be smarter to focus our efforts 16 inches lower. Time and again, we are reminded that it is the grateful heart that inspires the act of giving. This issue of STARS pays tribute to the capacity and power of the grateful heart – to heal pain, to express thanks, and to touch others. At Harris Methodist Health Foundation, we see these grateful hearts in action through the gifts we receive each day. This graciousness is reflected in the center of this magazine with the Alliance of Stars – pages and pages of names who gave to help others. Often we are left to wonder what inspired such generosity. But in other cases, we come to understand how the care and support delivered in our hospitals moves the grateful heart to pay it forward – and how powerful that can be. Such is the story told by Gloria and Quad Boenker. Relationships built with the physicians and staff at the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit at Harris Methodist Fort Worth inspired a gift that will offer hope and support to others for years to come. Fred and Mary Attaya similarly chose to honor those who provided more than a year of exceptional care to Fred with a gift of enduring value.
