Training is going well and the senior team are back from Korea and will we be working with them this week.

The Strength and conditioning coaches are providing me with another circuit programme this week, so after four weeks I will have a different work programme on a Friday.

My stretching exercises are improving my flexibility and I am working on using this flexibility to add one or two different kicks into my game plan
Players who are on the junior development programme and coming into the Academy next week, so we will catch-up with a lot of people from around the UK. We will all be working towards selection for the European Junior team and I expect the level of competition will be high as everyone wants to represent GB.

Called at ASDA Spennymoor last week and delivered a news letter to keep everyone updated and will be meeting with the store co-ordinator Faye when I am next home from Manchester.

Last Friday I got the train from Manchester to Doncaster after training and it was weird to wander through Manchester train station in full GB kit and have everyone stare at you. Train was brutal and I had to stand for most of the journey. When I got to Doncaster met Dad, Mum and Simone who was training with Scorpions Taekwondo.

Brother Scott is back from Korea and he has got me some new arms and leg guards for training. Thanks Scott.

Went shopping as usual last night at ASDA Eastlands, we are going to be doing something with ASDA Eastlands soon and will keep you all updated.

Hi,

Great news just had confirmation I am one of eight athletes to represent GB at the Junior Europeans. Congratulations to all selected.

Over the moon at selection, now just got to work as hard as possible and produce a performance.

Loving the GB Academy with all the support and help I am getting, I am aiming to repay the faith with a podium finish.

As PG says “don’t think if think when!”

Having a great week this week with the other athletes at the Junior Development training camp – we had have the team development manager – Dean Leak – training today.

Just got to keep working and improving, thanks everyone for all the support.

Jamie
