I’m always amazed how the simplest of questions can lead to the greatest of insights, and the story of quantum mechanics is one such area. And it was a simple question asked by Max Planck when he asked: What if light moved in small packages rather than being continuous? And as they say the rest…
The thing that drives anyone who wants to become good in what they do is, how can we make it simpler? For different sports it could be, how can we make something go faster, or how can we make something lighter, all the same concept, it’s all about efficiency and effectiveness and making it simpler…
Recently whilst browsing around YouTube, I came across the DefCon Conferences and they make for fascinating viewing, for basically DefCon is a conference organised by and run for hackers.

Sometimes when one is looking to improve their health, in the process of doing so, what is literally is sediment, begins rising from the deep within. For with all the toxins that one consumes over time, when one starts taking supplements for health improvement, toxins can come out of the fat cells, so literally sediment…
This world and reality is way more fascinating and interesting than we are led to believe, and if anyone has had experiences with gut feelings, hunches, coincidences, intuition and synchronicities, one has essentially had workings with their higher self. The higher self can come under and be described by many names including Guardian Angel, the…
When most people look at their bodies, they see a physical body, some skin and hair, and very much little else, yet even on one’s skin is a vibrant community, a literal eco-system at work, yet we pay such little attention to it, and we haven’t even considered what is going on in our bodies,…
The biggest and most important work we can do is in the exploration of our inner space, for it is an area that we know so little about, though as time goes by, this exploration is bearing more and more fruit as the old stories is being blended with the new science and new understanding…
Another big part of the coaching puzzle is how do you present your information to the players so everyone is working in the same direction and all have the same understanding of the words that you use? And another piece of the puzzle to be worked out is out of all the information that you…
I must make an apology to the regular readers of this blog but due to circumstances beyond my control, I’ve been off line for the last month. And most of the downtime was due to the forced upgrade to windows 10, so that put me out of action for at least 3 weeks because my…
If you have been reading any of my blogs you’ll very quickly come to see that principles play a big part in what is done. The reason is why? The answer is actually very simple. But first what are principles? Principles are a constant, which means they are a fixed thing which means if you…
With my coaching, I use a lot of imagery when describing the skills and the way to play. It can sound a bit silly at times, though once the players understand what the images refer to it saves so much time in direction and correction. Some of the terms I use now are as follows: …
In cutting through all the information about sport, in particular coaching, there are three things, which when understood, makes coaching much more pertinent. They are: Have a belief, idea or concept about how the game can be played Work out the skill set to achieve that game Have an understanding about people and develop the…
The following is a bit of an insight in how I work out what to put in the conclusion line at the end of each entry. Sometimes a conclusion will come in the first hit, others, like the example below takes playing around with the words, either adding, subtracting or exchanging them. This example is about what…
I’ve been looking at some of the people I’ve studied, followed or admired over the years and there is one factor that always comes to the fore. Those people being: Bruce Lee Jim Henson Albert Einstein Arthur Lydiard Bob Paisley Steve Jobs You may not have agreed with the way they did things, but they…
Watched an interesting talk by Nicolas Perony on the simple rules that animals work from that produce what appears to be complex random behaviours, yet in reality are not once the rules they are working by are understood. http://www.ted.com/talks/nicolas_perony_puppies_now_that_i_ve_got_your_attention_complexity_theory.html Noel calls it simplifying complexity, though the context is the same as simplicity thinking, getting at…
Wanting to improve or do well? Because the thing that maybe blocking and holding one back is the mind. For if one is operating from the aspects of a Failing Mind they are the very things which are causing the blocks and holds. So if following aspects are being worked from: Fixed Mindset Passive Learner…
Everything being done is based around 4 principles, they being: Learning Environment Succeeding Mind Find out what is required to be done to be good, then do it Improve upon the information And The Succeeding Mind is the key principle of the lot Because Take away the Succeeding Mind, the rest falls like a pack…
What is about to be said may seem obvious, though it’s surprising the number of people who miss it. If one likes winning and doing well, and let’s face it, most do, there are two things that must be done to make it happen and without them, winning and doing well won’t happen at all….
Part of wanting to learn is in asking questions, for if it’s accepted what people are telling you, then you accept that they are correct. And as has been shown through the millennia, known information does change and a new ideas and concepts always precede it, for: Asking questions is the key to unlocking different worlds…
Description Simplicity thinking is about seeing the essence in things and those that have dyslexia in one degree or another have a huge head start in this area. Quotes If you can’t explain it simply, you don’t understand it well enough – Albert Einstein Simple is good – Jim Henson It’s the little details that…
