Well my debut as the only adult in the Harrogate ladies team was not entirely successful, hit my first ball for one run then hit my own stumps off on the second ball I faced. I might need to tame my whack it mentality - and maybe get some batting lessons 🤦‍♀️😬

Off we go again Winnie opening the season Burnt Yates CC

Outstanding from St Aidan's second in the North and a fantastic 47 from Winnie to finish

What a star Winnie is. Last man standing in the final and batted it out to finish with a 6 for St Aidan's

And St Aidan's PE are in the final against Repton School With 30mins a week in a gym with a crash mat as a wicket, borrowed bats and some girls who’ve never played before this tournament. What a demonstration of grit from the girls and leadership from their teacher. #cricket

“The world is changed by your example not your opinion”. This weekend marks the anniversary of our Safe Sport Leaders programme. Sport changes lives and our programme is a small part of that life changing picture for women across the world.

My high school. One of the few state schools with a swimming pool, fortunately residing in an area where children have limited opportunity to learn to swim for a range of reasons. Just imagine if pools, fields and courts were the norm for all children.

Because Winnie wants to change the world you’ll find us making a small difference Harrogate CC this summer coaching the dynamos. Harrogate, girls only, age 8-11. Come join us.

Listen to Rachael Mackenzie rachaelmackenzie explain what being Well Prepared is really about in this episode, linking physical activity and wellbeing to improved focus, behaviour and attendance! link.chtbl.com/wellschoolsrac…

This great conversation gets to the heart of the importance of the whole child, the way the brain learns and develops and the approach in supporting children to be ready to learn and ready to recover. Rachael Mackenzie’s episode can be listened to here link.chtbl.com/wellschoolsrac…

Just the 4hr42 drive back up north for my Yorkshire CCC safe hands course to ensure Burnt Yates CC are compliant with safeguarding. When people tell me they don’t have time to volunteer I often feel like handing them my diary. #cricket #volunteer #MakeADifference

We heard from Rachael Mackenzie rachaelmackenzie at @youthsporttrust conference this week, and this episode is a great reminder of the importance of seeing the whole experience of a child at school when addressing wellness. link.chtbl.com/wellschoolsrac…

Playing with a broken thumb but Winnie is still smiling. Thankful for the PE teachers St Aidan's who nurture my girl.

Glad I’m not making the final decision on who wins from this bunch of legends. Their work and impact is incredible- changing lives every day.

Overnight after a wonderful time delivering across the GCC so I can deliver Youth Sport Trust conference. Bring me coffee and your energy and make sure you join the sessions I’m part of. I’ll be talking all things movement and the brain and their role in attendance and flourishing

There will never be a moment where I’m not thankful for the doors sport has opened for me. I might have pursued knowledge in a way that has enabled me to walk through the door, but the key to unlocking my chance to make a difference in the world comes from stepping in the ring

What an honour to be part of a programme using the power of sport to bring women together and support standards across women’s sport.
