Just some recent Continual Professional Development.
I've been told to proudly share my badge. ๐ชฉ๐๐ผโโ๏ธ
โก๏ธ A Menstrual Health Course for coaching, understanding safe strategies and management for athletes, tackling taboos, and creating period friendly coaching environments. ๐ฉธ
โก๏ธ A Body Confident Coaching certificate, for some extra learning before assisting with research for the Dove Self Esteem project.
โก๏ธ And a slide from the penultimate UK Coaching Elevate Women in performance coaching workshop. I particularly enjoyed the content of this one and listening to the other highly experienced coaches on the course. ๐คธ๐ผโโ๏ธ

I've been busy... this one was from the end of October! The last IFSC Para World Cup in Laval, France. ๐ซ๐ท
A bit of an epileptic nightmare, but an amazing showcase of para climbing.
Well done and for fabulous performances and getting past the yellow knickers hold! ๐คฉ We had a lot of fun on this trip, with too.
And another finals for Lucy, creeping closer and closer to that podium! ๐
In coaching sessions we've been working on overwhelm in preparation for this year's competitions, in order to perform best in environments with loud music, distractions and unknowns out of our control, as well as a lot more. ๐ชฉ๐ช๐ผ
I'm looking forward to seeing what this year's World Cup circuit brings. ๐๐

I've been busy adding another string to my bow. ๐น
I'm enjoying improving an added layer to my coaching with regular sight guiding a visually impaired climber. ๐ฆฎ
I've increased my Lucy intake ๐
and I'm coaching Visually Impaired
alongside which is awesome, because we can practice using back ropes on coaching sessions and climbing harder and steeper climbs, while bouncing effort off eachother.
I'm psyched for a Lucy โ season.
Lucy H came 2nd in her first ever para comp at .cic GRIT festival, and made it onto the GB paraclimbing team at this years benchmarking event.
Next steps; classification.
Lucy K took gold at GRIT and is pre-selected for international comps (after her impressive 2025 season) this year, but proved that anyway by smashing the routes at benchmarking, and is looking stronger than ever. ๐ช๐ผ
Come on girls! ๐คฉ least I don't need to remember any more names... ๐
