Took some advice yesterday to run again, and here I am back at the start line. My Friday quote is: “Surround yourself with good people, who inspire you to find the inner you.”

@DARPLwales @charwilliamsOBE This could be done quickly through a Revalidation process on any degree programme and be embedded on to a course the following academic year. Or content could be embedded into existing modules as long as LOs are met. The real question, why haven’t we done so yet?

@DARPLwales Such a useful conversation and I’m so pleased it is taking place in my old school. I never thought I would have a career in education, but it is possible.

I’m excited that in my role, working with colleagues who are really pushing the narrative for change and equity, we might make these “hard to reach” sports accessible. This is just the beginning of the journey.

Yesterday, I was racially profiled and threatened by a security guard in @WHSmith at Birmingham New Street station. This was unprovoked and continued when I left the store, where the security guard make aggressive and violent hand gestures towards me. I’m not a threat.

Reading and liking tweets is great, but to experience and be part of the Ramadan programme is even better. As someone who doesn’t practice any religion I’ve personally felt so welcome by the Muslim community. It is fantastic to be able to share these important cultural moments.

For transparency, I only achieved 45cm and our own Elliot got over 51cm to give @sportwales staff a respectable 5th place on the leaderboard. It was a really fun night, and I’m looking forward to tonight, I may or may not be stretching all day today to improve my jumping 😅

This whole adventure started because we wanted to make a @wibmerfabio Red Bull helmet. We did, but we took one step further - We went to Germany and met Fabio Wibmer, who signed Parker’s helmet! Chapter closed... I give you Mini Wibmer!

This made me think about my favourite quote by @MichelleObama : “our motto is: ‘When they go low, we go high’.” High enough to overcome barriers and obstacles in our way. There’s always a plan for us.

Breaking down barriers one step at a time to make sport accessible for diverse communities, in particular the children who wouldn’t of had access otherwise. We keep going 🤝🏾

If a national champion has to train in a car park, what hope do young kids who aspire to do this have? I have a 4yo that looks up to Matti and it would great to see better facilities for athletes.

My conversations with @MattiHemmings were enlightening and empowering, we talked about a vision for cycling where more people had access to safe spaces to ride, and to facilities/equipment across Wales. I knew working with Matti and @F4SportsCIC could help start that journey.
