    The guy at times takes so much for the team. His ability to play in different positions for @gloucesterrugby is credit to him. Last out the training centre most days, looking after himself. Great work tonight Billy Matchwinner!

    So after 6 years, today is my last day working in the Academy at @gloucesterrugby I have had an amazing time, and worked with some quality people over this period. I am proud of what has been achieved, both on and off the pitch, and thank everyone for their support and help.

    A big welcome to our new academy staff members Kevin Mannion, Jessica Murray Fisher & Gareth Harris! Our 3 new Sharks have joined the team ahead of the 2021/22 season as we step up our efforts to develop the Sharks of the future. Welcome to the #SharksFamily!

    In what has been a period of challenges personally, small victories are massive positives! I can remember the day my Mum told us she had Breast Cancer. Today she was finally discharged from Hospital, all clear. Great news going into Mother's Day.

    Within the @GlosRugby_Acad U16s, we make sure that we use both linear and lateral progressions, when controlling body movements. These type of prep exercises will assist in understanding what movements 'feel' like; and when we get in the racks, they have to ustand how they feel.

    So after 3 years in @SaleSharksAcad ๐Ÿฆˆ, I am moving on. Not sure if this is a pause or a reset for me moving forwards? Been so fortunate to have now worked in 3 amazing Academy Environments ๐Ÿ…๐Ÿ’๐Ÿฆˆ over the last 17 years, with some amazing Coaches and some talented young players.

    Massive thanks to @WiganWarriorsRL and all their staff for making a special moment for my Grandad. Treated amazingly, and special thanks to the people who let him sit in their box. Def a moment he will cherish and remember with the rest of the family. #WWRL

    First time for some of the new @GlosRugby_Acad lads to be put through their paces, with a work capacity session. Great intent from all of them, and a good starting point to build on. Drive intensity in different ways.

    Defence is about attitude. Its about winning collisions on our terms. Great example from the @GlosRugby_Acad lads here, which i think even @LewisLudlow94 would be proud of.

    My son just sent me this of @barton0711 being congratulated by the boss. And a mate sent the other, of 3 @GlosRugby_Acad lads playing in the @ChampionsCup Most important part of both pictures is smiles on the faces at Kingsholm.

    Really good time to revisit some movement prep with the @GlosRugby_Acad lads Get them moving more efficiently to help support their training. Take time now to get the little things right, and build up over the weeks. Good start for the lads.
