Ice Hockey: The Sport That Never Really Left Me
From Bracknell to Widnes, with a few detours along the way.
OFF THE CLOCK
Two sports, one habit. Turn up, be useful, and then start quietly redesigning something nobody asked you to redesign.
Sport is where most of my volunteering, photography, design and club systems work ends up. It is also the only part of my life where somebody blows a whistle at me, which is probably good for me.
Hockey has been part of my life since I was a kid in Bracknell.

WRITING
From Bracknell to Widnes, with a few detours along the way.

A beer-league hockey site built as though you have found an old computer and the Raiders operating system is still running.
I started as a parent trying to help my daughter keep playing. I stayed because I fell in love with coaching.

WRITING
I went to watch my daughter play. Somehow I ended up with a whistle.

What began as a better club website became a digital platform for running an entire netball club.
THE POINT
Neither of these is my job. Both of them have taught me more about systems, people and doing things properly than most things that are.
