PE Conference in London

Yes, believe it or not, but I was actually professionally busy as well during my London trip. The Cobham International School hosted the ECIS PE conference. The conference was held on Saturday, Sunday and Monday and was pretty good. Every day there were tons of workshops that you could go to and most of them were pretty valuable.

We were lucky that the weather was very nice and none of the ourdoor activities had to be cancelled. In fact, I didnt have any rain during my 5 days in London. That must have been the only time of the year that that happened.


One of the highlights of the conference was a trip to the Chelsea FC training grounds and a football clinic with Jose Mourinho. Pretty cool, huh?

The training facilities are absolutely amazing , must be one of the best in the world. They have 34 !! full size football fields of which 6 are exclusively for Jose and the first team.

It was also nice to catch up two old friends Simon and Edwin, with whom I went to school together and with whom I worked at the International School in Amsterdam. ( They are the 2 ugly guys in the pictures with me....)
