He started off his working life teaching PE after studying at Loughborough at the same time as Lord Coe and with Sir Clive Woodward (who he's still on an 'old boys' WhatsApp group with). There was then more than two decades in the Royal Navy, followed by Consulting before running Great British Wheelchair Rugby from before 2012 right through to the Gold medal success at the delayed Tokyo Paralympics.

Anything but Footy ·

2023/01/23

For a sport that only started at the Olympics 23 years ago, Taekwondo has quickly become a firm favourite for the British fans and for Team GB and now Paralympics GB, after its Para debut in Tokyo. 5 medals at the delayed 2020 Olympics and Paralympics, three in Rio 4 years before that, Jade Jones' famous gold in London 2012 and Beijing 2008 was the setting for the first ever British medal thanks to the kicking talents of Sarah Stevenson. But how do you maintain that success? As generations change

2022/12/05

So much other sport going on at the moment, but you won't have seen or heard much about it due to the total domination of the Football World Cup. It's not even the biggest sporting event in the world for goodness sake - that's the Paris 2024 Olympics and Paralympics according to latest polling. But could Qatar be a future destination of the Olympic rings? In our 'News from the Games' we also round up some of the other headlines you may have missed - from the Summer Games triathlon, swimming,

#44 Great British Bosses - Mike Sharrock

Anything but Footy ·

2022/09/25

If we were writing a headline we'd say Mike Sharrock swaps BP for the BPA! The chief executive of the British Paralympic Association spent 30 years in international business with the oil giant, but since January 2019 he's been in charge of the BPA. Working on partnerships with London 2012 and Glasgow 2014 seemed to ignite his sporting flame and with all the challenges he, the Para athletes and the organisation have faced in the last few years, he certainly needed it!

After the Winter Olympics, Paralympics, World Championships & Commonwealth Games has the European Championships in Munich been too much?
