It felt like another milestone moment yesterday in the ARC project as Dr Jim Lusted presented at #UKSDN. We outlined what an ARC is and how utilising an anti-racist model of sport coaching can provide coaches a competitive edge by improving player experience & performance.
Thank you @Dale_Bottomley + all of the @NottmTrentUni team for a fantastic two days. Amazing conference organisation, appreciate all your efforts. It was a wonderful environment with opportunities for the delegates to meet, chat and share. We hope you can relax today! #UKSDN2024
