It’s National Apprenticeship Week, which feels like perfect timing because Ron has just completed his apprenticeship and is officially stepping into his role as a full-time coach. We asked him to reflect on the experience, the highs, the challenges, and what finishing it actually feels like.

In honour of National Girls and Women in Sports Day (4th February), a member of the Sportily team shares their journey through perimenopause and menopause. We wanted to give a real, honest perspective on what this stage of life can feel like, covering both the challenges and the triumphs, and showing how support, staying active, and self-care can help you thrive. 

Victoria is a Sportily coach who spends most weeks on a netball court. After rupturing her ACL, this is her experience of being injured and waiting for surgery.
