Raggety here..
Pip,pip …and lets
lighten the blog here … First off everyone...I (Raggety) am not all the names put
to me on the Internet ... I am Kev’s boss and although he works for me he is a
friend.
Many of the emails we
have received have been from people in the sporting world and in general, wanting
to know more about Kev. It seems people out there seem to find him quite an
interesting chap! Kev said no at first, but I explained that it would help to
let people know about him and would just give the blog a little bit of fun.
And having tempted
him though with cherished recollections of his old favourite, Desert Island
Discs, he was persuaded to let me play Plommers and give him a probe.
So over to

Question ... what
does your work see you do and anything related to it?
There are established qualifications that one needs.
These can months or even years to gain depending on the
level you wish to reach.
The qualifications are required by anyone you might work for
or if setting up your own business.
Most are on-going in that you have to update and show you
are active using the qualifications by keeping records.
Here is a list that I have and that I have used and do so.
These were taken in the UK,
the standards set in the UK
are high and usually the qualifications are accepted anywhere outside the
UK.
In brief..
Swimming teaching.
Swimming coaching for competitive swimmers
Athletics (running) and cycling
Personal trainer
Pilates
Yoga
My day at work can vary, it could be a 05-00 swim at the
pool.
Also it could include taking running and cycling groups.
At some locations it is more of a fitness holiday. That is
the triathlon side, more for the beginner .
The main area I work with in Dubai is age group athletes and they are at
an advanced level.
I will update my blog more often and will mention the last
year that has been so busy.
The reason was my boss (yes you Raggety) wanted to see
all locations operating at best in all areas.
My travels last year include these locations where we
now have full set-up running businesses (in each): Torremolinos (Malaga Spain)
... Sri Lanka ... Cyprus ... Gibraltar ... Gran Canaria … current
base is Dubai. It’s
a hard life!!! For now, Kev.
Thanks Kev! If only
everyone’s experiments with the truth were as positive as Ghandi’s!
