Had one of those moments today where a kid who usually hates PE actually stayed behind to ask about my marathon training. Turns out he's been watching my Strava updates. Nothing fancy, just explaining cadence and pacing, but his face lit up. That's the bit nobody tells you about coaching - sometimes the smallest conversation changes how a kid sees fitness.
Kate MorrisonThat's lovely, Mike - those quiet moments are worth more than any medal, aren't they? Bet he'll remember that conversation long after he remembers any lesson plan.
