I care about the parts of sport that are easy to overlook: relationships, group dynamics, communication and belonging.

For some people, loving the activity itself is not always enough. The social environment around sport can shape whether they feel able to join, return or stay involved.

I’m especially interested in how we create sporting & physical activity environments where more people feel comfortable enough to take part, find their place and keep doing something they enjoy.

My own experiences of sport helped bring these questions into focus. I’m now exploring them through my BSc in Sport Coaching & Development at UWS and through my creative writing.

The writing here is personal, creative place portraits drawn from my own thirty-five-year relationship with sport, following memories of playing through the places where they happened.

​

I’ll be adding pieces through to 2027. ​
