In love with the beautiful game.
“The most difficult thing is the decision to act, the rest is merely tenacity. The fears are paper tigers. You can do anything you decide to do. You can act to change and control your life; and the procedure, the process is its own reward.” ~ Amelia Earhart

I've really enjoyed the challenge of capturing my views on Spurs in 300 words each week, trying to share my opinion in an engaging way, and pose questions or topics to make the reader think.

This is part of a wider ball mastery game I learnt when I was coaching at Spurs years ago.
You can adapt it for any age group but it does work particularly well with younger players - not least because they get lots and lots of touches of the football.

I had a lovely time volunteering at the recent Seeing Is Believing event in Southall - coaching girls from South Asian backgrounds and inspiring a love for the game ✨️

This week's blog is actually about mindset but I don't get to choose the headline!
More than happy for people to disagree with me, but please do so respectfully. I don't appreciate messages telling me I'm arrogant, boring and repetitive.

I spent the best part of a decade coaching football and, perhaps partly because of that, I am convinced by its power and potential to create positive social change far beyond the confines of a football pitch.

A wonderful turnout in Haringey this morning as we walked through the borough to raise awareness of the efforts to eliminate male violence towards women and girls.
I walked with two of my fellow Women of The Lane co-founders @chrispaouros.bsky.social and Hemali Patel.
