    Most of us were never taught how to move. We learned to walk, to run, to jump, and then life took over. The habits stuck. The good ones and the bad ones. 
    If We Knew Better, We'd Move Better is about the years that shape all of it. The idea is simple. The way a child learns to move between the ages of two and eight becomes the way they move for the rest of their life. Coach Steve Stokes calls this the Two8 Window. It is the window where movement gets wired in. 
    This book is for parents who want to give their kids a real foundation. It is for coaches who want to understand why some athletes move with ease and others fight their own bodies. And it is for anyone who has ever felt like their body was working against them and wondered if it was too late to change. 
    Drawing on more than twenty years of coaching and a career as a professional athlete, Coach Stokes breaks down how movement is built, where it breaks down, and what you can do about it at any age. No jargon. No fluff. Just clear, simple lessons you can use today. 
    This is Volume One in The Seeds of Movement series. It will change the way you watch your kids play. It will change the way you move. And it will plant a seed that grows for a lifetime. 
    Press play. Let's move better.

    A Bike at Large is the fourth book in Jo’s ‘At Large’ series. 
    When he was overtaken by a jogger on a borrowed mountain bike, Jo knew it was time for drastic action. Welcome to the world of a man in his 60s and his new e-bike. 
    His first injury occurred within one foot! Setting off for his first practice ride round a car park, he misjudged the width of the handlebars and scraped his hand on the cycle shop’s stone wall. 
    ‘You’ll go places you’ll never have dreamed of,’ said the shop owner. Prophetic words indeed. Eighteen hours later Jo was embedded in his neighbours hedge due to a clothing malfunction. Fortunately, before setting out he’d put his ego and self-esteem in the top drawer in the kitchen. 
    With the emergency ambulance on speed-dial, Jo climbs a steep learning curve on a series of mini adventures throughout the north of England, mercifully with a diminishing distance to injury ratio. 
    By calling his e-bike a ‘Lifestyle Investment’, it took his wife’s mind off the cost. At the time she needed some new slippers, so it was a sensitive issue. Asked whether he was searching for eternal youth? ‘Not really,’ he said, ‘more trying to keep out of my eternal hole in the ground.’ 
    Fuelled by red wine and optimism, off he goes………
