PE Teacher Inset- Stanbridge Earls School
I did a 3 hour inset last week with the PE staff at Stanbridge Earls school.
We looked at the principles behind LTAD and how physical development matched this model.
We then looked at ways of identifying structural problems in the school children and how we could improve their structural integrity.
For the last 90 minutes we highlighted ways of strengthening the athletes, looking at bodyweight, dumbbell and medicine ball exercises that used dynamic multi-joint actions.
It was interesting to see the lightbulbs going off above the teachers’ heads as we linked the exercises to what their pupils can and can’t do. I purposely got the teachers doing, rather than talking, so that they could see their own limitations and have more empathy with those kids who will find it difficult.
I hope to go back next year to do a longer workshop and use some case studies to help the teachers improve their overall delivery.
Client Testimonials

I first met James at a South West Gymnastic conference and thought he was superb then, and still do! James' ability to adapt to different sports and levels is excellent, and he is superb at getting his message across to different ages of gymnasts. He did a workshop at our club for our competitive gymnasts and it was superb, His work was of great value to a wide range of ages and levels, with a tremendous emphasis on posture and injury prevention. We have been able to put his training methods into practice and are seeing an improvement in the all round strength and fitness of our gymnasts.
