11 years ago... I'd just made it through the first round of Bobsleigh trials and set up twitter to try to get some sponsorship... #MyTwitterAnniversary

Here I am, reminiscing at the site of the greatest race of my career.
It's a warm summers day, with no ice in sight and now more than ever it seems appropriate to announce my retirement from the sport of Bobsleigh.

Imagine building a $1T+ company with >1M employees and still going home to get 8 hours each night, but somehow coaching people to run around and chase a ball is so much higher stakes that you have to sleep in your office.

Very grateful of the incredible network of professionals I've acquainted during my sporting career. Thanks @NickChadd for today's call 🙏

I fear the Commonwealth Games has lost its heart…
it always used to be a beautiful balance of performance & DEVELOPMENT!
Seeing the home nations restricted to such small teams for a home games scares me for the next generation! 😢

Extremely sad news to hear about Raph, who was just a lovely soul.
Sending thoughts and hugs to his family and loved ones🤍 and I will keep hope in my heart for his return🤍
We are heartbroken to learn that the search for our friend & former colleague, Raph Rinaldi, who has been missing in the Italian Alps for the past week, has now ended. Our thoughts are with Raph's family, friends & loved ones 💔

“Starting acceleration sets up everything thereafter. If stride one isn’t right, there’s no coming back. And we can work starting acceleration almost daily.” @benthebounce on the podcast:

Do we need to get rid of long GCT plyos? “I don’t know if I look at plyos as needing to match the ground contact time of your sport. If you already get a lot of contacts in your sport at a certain contact time, do you need more there?” @benthebounce

“What makes the long jump so difficult is that there's no room for error. You have 120ms that dictate the jump. There are no subsequent phases to mitigate any slight mistake. You have a very narrow window to get it right.” @benthebounce on the podcast:

We often think of explosiveness as just one quality, but the fastest sprinter isn’t always the best bobsledder or long jumper. On this week’s episode @benthebounce talks about optimizing your plyometrics, bobsled training, and much more.

What an incredible day at the “Diversity of Speed” event co-hosted by @TeamHallam and @TalentedAthlete World-class practical sessions in the morning by @RuthWaghorn @theodros_hailu @SpeedworksBath and amazing insight from the afternoons Q&A hosted by @SportsmithHQ
Is the benefit of General Prep really building a 'base'? Or is it just the fact that you back off intensity for 8 weeks, and nobody's circuits get fried.

We are deeply saddened to learn of the death of Olympic gold medalist and world champion bobsledder Tony Nash MBE - a legend in the sport of bobsleigh in this country and a man whose incredible achievements will be remembered for many, many years to come
