🏉✨ INSPIRING THE NEXT GENERATION OF COACHES! ✨🏉

Yesterday, we had the pleasure of visiting Newcastle College to spend some time with their Early Years students! 🎓💙

We chatted all things EPIC Camps — from the coaching and job opportunities we offer, to what it’s really like working with children and building a career in the Early Years and childcare sector.

A big part of our visit was showing the students that there isn’t just one route your career has to take. 🌟

Charley and I shared our own career journeys, the different roles and experiences that have brought us to where we are today, and some of the opportunities that can open up both during and after an Early Years qualification.

We also talked about how working with EPIC Camps can give students the chance to:

🏉 Gain hands-on experience working with children
⭐ Build confidence in coaching and leading activities
🤝 Develop communication, teamwork and leadership skills
📚 Put their Early Years knowledge into practice
🚀 Explore future career opportunities within coaching, childcare and management

A huge thank you to Newcastle College for inviting us in and to all of the students for getting involved, asking questions and hearing our stories.

We’re really excited to hopefully see some of you joining Team EPIC in the future! 💙🏉

Your qualification is the beginning — where you take it is up to you! 🌟

Trying to manage 3 kids going back to school is a bit hectic in our house 😅

We definitely don’t have it all figured out, but these are 5 things we’re trying this year to make school days run a little smoother.

PLUS there’s one thing we’ve started doing that has been an absolute game changer — more on that at the bottom 👀

👇 Here are our 5…

1️⃣ Bags packed & homework done the night before

This one is non-negotiable. Homework finished, bags packed and everything ready to go before bed. It saves so much scrambling around in the morning trying to find books, PE kits and everything else!

2️⃣ Screens are for weekends

We pretty much did this anyway, but we’re sticking to no TV, movies or recreational screens Monday–Friday. Homework screens are obviously fine when they’re needed.

We save movie nights for the weekend instead 🍿 — something for everyone to look forward to after the school week.

3️⃣ A set wake-up time ⏰

We used to let the kids sleep as long as possible because we thought the extra rest would do them good. In reality, it just put more pressure on everyone to get ready and out of the door!

So this year the alarm is set for 6:45am every school day. More time, less rushing.

4️⃣ Fuel them properly 🍓🥣

School days are long — and with all the sport our kids do on top, we want to make sure they’re properly fuelled.

Our go-to breakfast is porridge, honey and fruit — simple, filling and hopefully enough fuel for their brains, bodies and everything they have going on that day!

5️⃣ If it all goes to pot… tomorrow is a new day ❤️

Probably the most important one.

A bad morning doesn’t need to become a bad day. And a bad day doesn’t need to become a bad week.

Three kids, school, work, clubs, sport, homework… some days the routine is just going to fall apart.

Reset. Go again tomorrow.

And the GAME CHANGER… 👀

There’s one other thing we’ve started doing to keep on top of school dates, clubs, sport, homework and everything else — and it’s genuinely made a massive difference to us.

Comment “GAME CHANGER” and I’ll message you exactly what we’re doing 👇

Day 70,089,816- 3 survival days remaining. 😂

Three of our favourite ways to get outside, move, explore and keep everyone sane — without spending a fortune.

All basically FREE. Good for their bodies, good for their minds… and probably even better for ours.

1.Longsands Beach
Find the stream, grab some buckets & spades and build the biggest dam you can.
Bonus: lunch at Crusoe's Tynemouth afterwards 👌

2.SIMONSIDE HILLS 🥾 Forestry England
A tough little walk — but absolutely worth it for the views, fresh air and hopefully some very tired children. 😂
Pack snacks. Lots of snacks.

3.BIKE + ROCK POOLS 🚲🦀
Two of our absolute favourites. Get out on the bikes, find some rock pools and hunt for crabs.
Our kids would happily do this for hours.
