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.

Working with James has been a pleasure and education for all of the fencers and coaches, from beginner fencers and trainee fencers, up to international fencers and coaches with decades of experience. We really appreciate James' desire to challenge assumptions but simultaneously his ability to listen to both fencers and coaches on technical and tactical points. He manages to keep his sessions fresh and innovative without losing sight of our central goals. His sessions are challenging and fun and his attention detail is a tribute to his professionalism. Thank you.
