I have stopped believing what people say as my focus is on what they actually do as that is a better indicator to their true intentions.

Great start to 2026 as I was back in my happy place.

Coaching and mentoring these young men is the best way to start my year.

Croydon Cougars basketball club has created an amazing space for these boys to grow, develop, laugh and play safe.

On a walk about in Marrakesh and only bumped into Hannah one of my teachers from my time leading a school in Basingstoke, UK.
As a leader I have always looked for character and people who had a vocational calling to work with young people and Hannah had that in abundance.

Really enjoying my winter break in Morocco.

Zimbabwe came very close to securing a draw but Mo Salah continues to show he is a special talent.

Taking every opportunity to explore and recharge...

On Saturday our under 16s took on local rivals croydon elite in a local derby.
After a minutes silence to mark the passing of Vic Ambler a great basketball advocate the boys got down to action.
Great passing, team defence saw the @croydoncougars take the victory by 51 points.

Great effort today as we collected lots of donations to support our Jamaican brothers and sisters recovering from the devastation of Hurricane Melissa.
2 great wins also from both the under 16 and u18 teams to round off an amazing day. Thanks to all who came to support

In victory or in defeat fathers are required. So many silently doing the heavy lifting to support their children as they navigate this world.

Happy fathers day to all who hold that responsibility on my network and beyond.

During the summer we are @ legacy youth zone in Croydon as our normal training hall has become an examination hall for summer exams. Well done to all the boys who came to work out and keep in shape.

As I get older I have embraced my manifest destiny.
Yesterday I met with 2 people who have helped pave the way for equality and civil rights and I will keep standing up and will not shy away from being the Paul Osinachi Mundy-Castle I was born to be.
I stand strong.....

Yesterday was bring your child to work day in the USA.

Interesting the lack of diversity in the children selected to visit King Trump in his White house.

I am sure the last USA census showed more than 50% of Amercans are now non white but maybe we should say the obvious bit quietly....

It was great to be at the Youth Sport Trust conference last week. I enjoyed the diversity round table as it was a space to discuss issues around representation and routes into PE teaching.
It is important to grow alliances with organisations that improve the situation for diverse communities.

Every Sunday I head down to a basketball run in Camberwell. I have always kept a connection to my community.
To meet my old school friends, connect and play some old man basketball is priceless.
Keeping grounded is an amazing way of maintaining a positive mental attitude.

The Metropolitan Police have published the new stop and search charter. Very important for all londoners to read and understand how the police service should behave and "go wisely" during any stop and search interaction.

Loved my visit yesterday to Newcastle to attend a Basketball England board meeting.

The new chair has introduce rotating meetings around the country which gives us the contextual issues locally that impact on the growth of the sport of basketball.
