Bob is the Founder/Director of the charity, the Foundation for Leadership through Sport (FLS) whose aim is to develop understanding of and capability in leadership in, of and through sport.
Bob began as a teacher of physical education and ended as Director of Sport, Exercise and Health at the University of Bristol, a post he held for many years. He introduced the first Masters course in the United Kingdom in Exercise and Health Sciences. He also ran a teacher training course for graduate students..
Bob established a pioneering high performance programme, enabling students with academic and sporting talent to fulfil their potential in both. Many went on to achievie the highest International success while still obtaining good honours degrees from one of the world’s leading academic institutions.
Bob was an early influence in the National Coaching Foundation (now Sports Coach UK) and at that time focused on psychological aspects of sporting performance and sports coaching. He was the only person to be a staff coach of the RFU and the MCC. He coached the University Rugby Club for over 25 years, also having periods coaching Bristol Rugby Club and the England Students XV.
He represented the Student game on the RFU full committee, where he was commissioned to produce the first report on the development of the elite game in England. Having been a member of several of the leading committees on the RFU, he became the President of the Union in 2013/14.
He has been awarded two Honorary doctorates for services to sport and higher education.
Bob now focuses on his work with FLS, organising workshops and conferences, in association with leaders from sport, business and the military. Of particular interest are the creation of organisational culture for sustained success and coaching sport to develop leaders. Bob continues to mentor and advise a number of sportsmen and women as well as speaking to students in schools and higher education, and acting as a coaching consultant.
