⚽️ STRONGER. FASTER. FITTER. 💪

Last week I had the pleasure of putting a fantastic local Under 13s football team through a strength and conditioning session… and they absolutely smashed it! 👏

Strength and conditioning isn’t just about getting stronger. It helps young athletes:

🏃 Improve speed and acceleration
⚡ Increase power and endurance
🦵 Build strength safely
🤸 Improve mobility and coordination
🛡️ Reduce injury risk
⚽ Perform with more confidence on the pitch

If you’re a football coach, rugby coach, or run any youth sports team and want to give your players that extra edge, The Coaching Shed can help!

✅ Team strength & conditioning sessions
✅ Age-appropriate training
✅ Fun, engaging and confidence-building
✅ Just £3 per child, per hour

I’d love to work with more local teams and help young athletes reach their full potential.

👀 I’m also thinking of starting a weekly Kids Strength & Conditioning Class!

It would be suitable for children who play football, rugby, cricket, athletics, dance… or simply want to get stronger, fitter and more confident in a fun environment.

If this is something you’d be be interested in for your child, comment “INTERESTED” below or send me a message. If there’s enough interest, I’ll get one up and running! 💪

📢 A Friendly Reminder About PT Block Bookings 📢

As my diary gets busier and I’m now paying for my venue, I just wanted to remind everyone how my PT block bookings work.

When you purchase a 4-week PT block, you’re reserving my time in my diary for those four weeks. To keep things fair for everyone, those sessions need to be booked and used within that 4-week period.

If I ever need to cancel a session, it will always be rearranged and you will never lose it.

However, if sessions aren’t booked, are repeatedly cancelled, or are continually moved by the client, they cannot be rolled over indefinitely. Unfortunately, I can’t hold diary space open while waiting for sessions to be used or delay the next month’s payment, as I still have business expenses and venue costs to cover whether those appointments are attended or not.

I completely understand that life happens, and I’ll always do my best to be flexible where I can. But I also have to protect my time and run my business fairly for all of my clients.

Thank you all for understanding and for continuing to support my little business. ❤️

🌞 SUMMER HOLIDAY UPDATE 🌞

For the summer holidays, all of my morning classes will be 10:00 AM instead of 9:30 AM. This gives me a little extra time with Kaia & Theo while they’re off school, and I really appreciate everyone’s understanding. ❤️

🥩 “Your body can only absorb 30g of protein in one meal…” ❌ MYTH!

Let’s clear this up…

Your body doesn’t stop absorbing protein after 20–30g. Almost all the protein you eat is digested and absorbed.

What people often mean is that muscle protein synthesis (the process of building and repairing muscle) is maximised for most people at around 20–40g of high-quality protein per meal, depending on your size, age and activity level.

So what happens to the rest?

✅ It can still be used to:
💪 Repair other body tissues
🦴 Support hormones and enzymes
🛡️ Help your immune system
⚡ Provide energy if needed

That extra chicken breast isn’t “wasted”!

🍗 The best approach?
Aim for a good source of protein at each meal rather than trying to cram it all into one sitting.

A simple target for most active people is:
🥚 20–40g of protein per meal
🍽️ Spread across 3–5 meals each day

Consistency beats perfection every time.

💖 The Coaching Shed Tip:
Don’t stress if one meal has 45–50g of protein. Your body is smarter than social media gives it credit for!

🌸 A little reminder from me to you… 🌸

Progress isn’t about being perfect… it’s about showing up, even when you don’t feel like it. 💕

💧 Drink your water.
🥩 Hit your protein goal.
🚶‍♀️ Get your steps in.
🏋️ Move your body.
😴 Prioritise your sleep.
🩷 Be kind to yourself.

Remember… one workout, one meal, one choice at a time. Those small decisions add up to big changes.

Your only competition is the person you were yesterday. So stop comparing yourself to everyone else and start celebrating every little win along the way. ✨

The girls in The Coaching Shed don’t strive for perfection… we strive for consistency. That’s where the magic happens. 🌸

Save this as your reminder for the week, or make it your lock screen so every time you pick up your phone, you remember why you started. 🫶

You’ve got this… and I’ve got you. 💖
