If you’re … Continue reading 2022 Coaching
Victory Parades
It’s the Pride Parade in London this Saturday and I’ll be firmly staying away from Daygame. I asked about this on Twitter and the majority of Londoners agree with my sentiment: The reason I don’t like that day for Daygame is that I think it’s Fool’s Gold, similar to the Notting Hill Carnival and Camden … Continue reading Victory Parades
Camden Daygame Review
I recently went to Camden with a wing of mine (the same guy who I went to Clapham with; review link here). In today’s post I’ll let you know whether I recommend it for Daygame. Layout I measured out the route on Google Maps and it’s pretty hefty (disregard the names in the screenshot itself; … Continue reading Camden Daygame Review

Q&A: What Should I Do If A Stranger Comes Into The Set?
I got an email from a student called Mr S. He was asking about what to do if a stranger comes into the set and how often it happens to me. Specifically if they are a white knight/cockblocker/virtue signaller/”concerned onlooker.” This is an expanded version of my reply to him (I rattled off an initial … Continue reading Q&A: What Should I Do If A Stranger Comes Into The Set?
Unplugging From The Nine to Five-trix: One Month On
It’s been over a month since I left my nine to five (unplugging post, link here). I thought it would be worthwhile recapping what it’s been like. The first thing I had to do was get a routine going. You can’t live in holiday mode forever. That’s something I’ll get onto a bit more later. … Continue reading Unplugging From The Nine to Five-trix: One Month On
Clapham Daygame Review
Recently I met with a student of mine to catch up in Clapham. As we walked around and chatted I thought about whether it would be good for Daygame. Just to confirm: I’m talking about the high street (i.e. Clapham North Station to Clapham Common Station) and the common itself (for American readers, that’s another … Continue reading Clapham Daygame Review
Teasing Up and Down (A Particularly American Problem)
Today I wanted to write a short post fleshing out a concept I mentioned in a recent Twitter thread on opening: https://twitter.com/thomascrownpua/status/1514170152153075713?s=20&t=wUFZxVBL7oMdTdguiu61mA I thought of this last year while winging with an American Daygamer. This seems to be a particular problem for Americans because their culture is much nicer - on the surface - than … Continue reading Teasing Up and Down (A Particularly American Problem)

Q&A: What Were Your “Aha” Moments That Moved Your Game From Intermediate to Advanced?
What were your "aha" concepts/moments that moved your game from intermediate to advanced? or another way to put it, are there any commonalities you have noticed from coaching people at the intermediate/low intermediate that hold them back? I got that question Rob and there are two parts to my answer. The first is to do … Continue reading Q&A: What Were Your “Aha” Moments That Moved Your Game From Intermediate to Advanced?
