November 2014
With my first 3 months back in training now complete, the weights are going up and my shape is coming back.
My ankle is still fragile and with an independent assessment due on Tuesday, I’m hoping it won’t be too long before I can start running and kicking stuff again!

CHANGING LIVES
I have written 2 sports based courses. The first was a development of the current City & Guilds GNVQ level 3 course in Fitness Centre Management. I completed this programme as a student, assessor and invigilator. I developed the course to make it deliverable to those in a custody setting, making allowances for data control, security and environment restrictions.
The second was a youth programme combining gym exercises, knowledge and practises with mixed martial arts. A strong emphasise was placed on discipline, respect and commitment. In return, the young adults received coaching from some of the UK’s leading athletes and life skills training from relative positive role models.
All students on the free 12 week course had a history of, or had concerns raised surrounding criminality and offending.
I no longer have any involvement with the aforementioned courses. The first is delivered to those in custody by relevant education and sports departments.
The second, Is still active within the community. It has delivered 4 full courses and a summer club over the past 2 years. I delivered and assessed 3 1/2 of the full courses before parting company in the spring of 2014.
GYM MANAGEMENT
I have assisted the set up 2 gymnasiums for the HMP estate. Involvements included sourcing and ordering equipment from mats and mirrors to resistance and cardio machines. Layout and operation parameters were also central to the development and introduction of the improved facilities.
I was the manager of the largest mma facility in the UK for a period of 12 months. The facility also regularly hosted live sporting events from cage fighting nights to European powerlifting championships. The venue also hosted community events for the armed forces and local community. The venue was licensed and could hold up to 2000 people. I managed at least 8 events with all being hugely successful.
