Let's start with a well-known idiom: The cobbler's children have no shoes. The modern-day version is the builder whose house is a tip, or a coach who doesn't turn their tools on themselves.

This week, I turned the tools on my family, and anyone else who wants to join us.

If you haven't checked out last week's link to the skipping content yet, let me offer you my take on it.

We often think about warm-ups as a way to prep for what's ahead. If you are a coach, sometimes we use the warm-up to buy ourselves a little bit of time to set out some cones. And, of course, some people make the warm-up so complicated that it's another thing to overthink.

If a coaching session is a social gathering, it pays to think about the world you are entering — and how you plan to close the door on the world you just left.

Skipping might just be the transition that does both.

The instruction is simple: Begin. You know what to do — find joy in moving and let the effort find you.

Your job is to notice where people are, how they are moving, and the energy they are giving off.

And then close the door behind you.

If you are in Cardiff this Friday, why not bring a few people along and find out for yourself?

And if not, round up a few people, and find joy in moving.
