About Us
Sport & Me is owned by Life-Work Potential. Jane Thurnell-Read, the proprietor, came to sport relatively late in life:
"I come from a non-sporting family and didn't really discover sport until I was 46, when I met John Payne (see pic on left). He was a keen cyclist and triathlete, and it was a question of 'If you can't beat 'em, join 'em!'.
"I found getting involved in sport made a real difference to my life. In fact 10 years later I rode across the USA from Seattle to north of Boston on a bike - it was 4200 miles, an epic journey that took 9 weeks."
"This web site is important to me, because I want to encourage people of all ages and abilities to get involved in physical activity and sport, just like I did.
"I also want to provide experienced sports people with information and thought-provoking articles about their favourite sport."
The articles on the site are written by knowledgeable professionals and keen amateurs. If you would like to see your article(s) on this site, please email us with details of your idea(s). As well as receiving articles direct from writers we have also sourced articles from:
