Fantastic to be back in the States presenting a paper co-authored with @ajmaher5 at AISEP 2025 at the University of South Florida in St Petersburg, Florida. A stunning place to host a conference. Great company @AndySprake and @a_horrell.
Great job Andy!

University trip of a life time! Cyprus you was amazing 🍸🏖️🌞 The best time with the best people making amazing memories thank you to the physical education staff for making it happen @Macbeth_Jess @danorwin #University #FriendsForLife #MakingMemories
Beautiful sunrise here in Larnaca, looking forward to a great day at Pascal International School followed by a trip to Kakopetria in the Troodos Mountains. Great last day planned for our Sport & PE students.

ALT Sunrise over Larnaca. View from hotel room balcony shows houses in the foreground in the shade and a large palm tree to the right. The morning sun is kissing the white buildings in the distance. The sea is to the left hand side and in the far distance there is further coastline and mountains beyond. The sky has dappled grey cloud with patches of clear sky.
What a cracking first few days in Cyprus with a brilliant group of students from our BA (Hons) Sport & PE course. Swimming, volleyball, Kinball, VR table tennis, Wackitball, blind football, tag rugby, guide running, fitness testing, gymnastics and a bit of surfing so far!
