Pete's Story

Pete Windridge-France aims to swim the channel to raise money for Penny Fields in Leeds, the special needs school that his son Archie attends. Archie is 7 years old and has global developmental delay which means that he is mentally about 10 months old, and so can't walk or talk.

I am seeing Pete to coach him on "state control" using my Provocative Change Works™ approach for this enterprise and he is keeping a video diary of the results. For further details on this approach take a look at my Sports Performance Coaching page.

For more details on Pete and his progress you can visit his blog at peteswims.com.

Discussions and photos from the swim

Tuesday 4th October 2011

I spent the morning talking to Pete about this amazing journey and we recorded on video what we discussed. Here's a wonderful photo which gives some idea of just how far it is when you swim from Dover to France! That's the white cliffs of Dover in the background!

He is in France!

Sunday 25th September 2011

Pete arrived in France last night after swimming for 17 hours 55 minutes from the UK. I watched most of this on Twitter, FaceBook and online! This is the culmination of a few months work with myself and of course his own extensive physical workout. I spoke to him today and he's in fine spirite. I'll be adding some more video soon pre and post event.
