Gladiators, you will go on my second whistle, 3… 2… 1…
Still gives me butterflies.
This man was a huge influence on me, the nation's most loved referee.
Celebrating John Anderson. Legend.
#Gladiators is back! In all its glory. Sensational job @BBCOne.
Reliving my childhood. Plus a little bit of my adulthood too.
Conversations about money and financial wellbeing. The strain of high travel costs and little free time to work is real for athletes devoted to performance sport.

@MoneyHelperUK
Great to #TalkMoney with @sportscotland’s Performance Lifestyle team in Stirling.
#FinancialWellbeing is critical for the hundreds of fantastic athletes they support, so it was brilliant to raise awareness about @MoneyHelperUK.
Thanks again to @ShirlAdd for the invitation.🙏
OU offers the ultimate flexibility for athletes who, like @adam_Hall1996, spend a chunk of time travelling the world to train & compete. Adam flew in on the morning, graduated, then whizzed off to his next tournament overseas #dualcareer

The highs and lows of high performance sport - if it was easy, everyone would do it. Love working with Scotland's top sportsmen and women #ItsOkNotToBeOk
Badminton star Adam Hall very honest about his recent mental health struggles and how a break and talking about it helped him get back on track. Hopefully helps other athletes feeling the same. @adam_Hall1996 @BadmintonScot https:// heraldscotland.com/sport/181…
