Well, isn’t this exciting! The starter’s gun has gone off and we are away.

So, lets get onto the introductions:
The Constraints Collective team is made up of Ian Renshaw, Keith Davids, Will Roberts and Danny Newcombe. The team have over 100 years of collective experience of teaching, researching, coaching and working with colleagues in bringing to life the ideas of ED and CLA. We have an extensive network of friends and colleagues who are working in this space and at times we will post invited contributions from our ‘associates’ working in the area.

Mission
“THE home for those interested in learning more about Constraint-Led Approaches (CLA) in education, science, exercise and coaching.”
First of all, thank you for visiting the website, we hope you find it interesting, informative and fun! We also hope you get involved and help us grow interest and uptake of CLA across the world.
Our aim @TCC is to build a community to share a range of online and off-line resources, provide opportunities to collaborate, discuss ideas and provide forums to advance CLA practice.
We will provide contemporary commentaries with CLA links to current topics of interest in the news. We will help coaches connect and share ideas, providing examples of CLA practice in their own work.
We will invite coaches to co-create knowledge and understanding of how to apply CLA. We will talk to researchers and get them to explain how practitioners can incorporate the key findings into their work.
Co-creating
We will also be offering opportunities for you to take part in educational programmes as well as connecting with us to build your skill set or the skills of those who work with and for you. If you are a coach or Physical Education teacher, a coach educator, programme co-ordinator for schools or sports or a high performance manager interested in developing a transdisciplinary support team, we can tailor our work with you based on a flexible and adaptable approach to learning and development. More generally, over time, we will publish our own books, manuals and encourage others to become part of the project. We welcome connection from individuals, teams or organisations.
The blog will become a focal point of The Constraint Collective website and is the place where we will discuss current issues that we think you will be interested in and that of course, relate to Constraint-Led Approaches. We will begin by focussing on the ‘basics’ of a CLA as well as having regular features focussed on the links of a CLA to play, discussions with current coaches and practitioners using a CLA in their work.
A CLA Positive Environment
You should be aware that we are passionate advocates for CLA and we won’t be apologising for that.
We should also make clear that this site is for those interested in the ideas of CLA and who are interested in furthering their knowledge base on an academic level or who want to explore using CLA in their practise.
We WILL NOT be engaging in slanging matches with anyone; we simply don’t have enough energy :)
So, let’s get started…
