Yesterday I had my graduation ceremony and was granted my Master of Sport, Exercise and Health.

It was a special moment as I got to walk across the stage in front of my nearest and dearest who had a huge part in getting me there.

It wasn’t until I sat back down in my seat that I realised I had been granted this degree with honours. Something I never would of thought I was capable of.

This moment made me think of 10 year old Kenna. The little girl who was taken out of class every week by a teacher aide for extra learning support. The girl who was constantly put in the lowest reading and maths groups. The girl who was always classified as below average in academics. In reality, I wasn’t behind, it simply was not my passion. Kenna in the classroom and Kenna out on the sports field were 2 different kids. Unfortunately it was not always recognised in the same regard.

This is a post to remind everyone that:

1. Everyone has strengths and weaknesses. Some people have found them and others are yet to find them.

2. Often we are told we need to fit into certain boxes/levels/categories. In reality, life doesn’t work this way.

3. The power of Sport: Due to the topic of my research I have a lot to say about this, but to keep it simple- Sport is an outlet, a lesson and a passion. Sport looks different on everyone and can benefit everyone differently.

4. Hard work, persistence and dedication does pay off.

….

Everyone has their thing. You are not “dumb” if you struggle to spell or add.

The lessons I have learnt from my masters studies and being involved in sport outweighs the lessons I have learnt in school by a landslide.

Only you know what you are really capable of. Don’t let anyone else decide for you.

I am very excited to take all of my learning’s into my work and spread the message that sport can be the greatest teacher.

A question I am often asked, especially since becoming a PT is what meal plan and diet I stick to.

As someone who is involved with the health and fitness world I am not surprised I get asked this. This question is more times than not linked to the perception of maintaining a particular body shape, size or image. Although for some this is the goal, it is not my goal. I understand why most people initially believe this is the reason for eating healthy and exercising as there are many societal discourses that make us believe this is all that health and fitness is. It is so much more than restriction and body checking.

Food is good!! I am someone who loves a good meal, who enjoys exploring new flavour combos and different types of foods. I eat food because I enjoy it! And most importantly because my body needs it to survive. Food is our fuel, it is essential to living so why not enjoy it while we are at it.

This does not mean every meal should be full of sugary and processed foods but it also means that having those foods is not the end of the world.

My diet does not consist of ‘good meals’ and ‘cheat meals’. My diet consists of yummy, colourful, protein dense and enjoyable foods.

For some people having meal plans and diets works well. If this is you then that is awesome. I am not one of you. I am sure there are many other people just like me. For me restriction just leads to binging and dread around my meals. If you are like me and also feel like this it is not actually healthy, the food may be but the feelings and attitudes around it are not. For people like me these diets are not maintainable.

Restriction= results for a short period of time= losing progress = more restriction.

A challenge for you next time you are faced with conflicting feelings around what you should eat is to ask yourself “what can I add to this meal to nourish my body”. Like myself, I can almost guarantee this will lead you to eating foods that are maintainable and help you to make lifelong changes rather than temporary ones.

At the end of the day we are all going to die and if you are someone who values good tasting meals, add nutrients to them, don’t avoid what you love 🤍

I’m sure most of us have taken ourselves out on a run or similar after feeling like we have been ‘lazy or eaten too much’.

I’m sure a lot of us can also put our hands up and say that we have been made to do push ups or a run around the field when we have done something wrong. Maybe we talked over the teacher, didn’t do our homework or maybe it was a coach who wasn’t happy with how you played.

Without realising these attitudes and actions tell our brains that exercise is bad as it is associated with a negative emotion or feeling. Let’s try and change this narrative.

Exercise can be hard for sure, but when did hard become a bad thing?
