Gold Bugs
With North Korea’s new resident whack job running off at the gob and the United States man baby in chief responding I thought it would be interesting to take a look at gold.

How to grow old like an athlete
The question of how to maximise ‘health span’ – the period of life during which we are generally healthy and free from serious disease – is increasingly prevalent both in and out of sport.

Practice Doesnt Make Perfect
Several years ago I wrote a piece on how there was a growing stream of thought lead by the likes of Malcom Gladwell that talent was an overrated commodity and that all it took to be successful was practice. I will save everyone the trouble of reading my initial article and simply say this motion…
