Coffee Conversations - PE Umbrella
We love conversations with individuals and organisations, especially when they are face to face and involve coffee. Alternatively, we connect with others - in the UK or across the globe - via webinars or break out groups on Zoom, Skype, Microsoft Teams or Google Hangouts. Many of these online conversations have been with people we would never have had the opportunity to connect with. Our first online coffee conversation with the wonderful playmeo can be found here.
This conversation is with the irrepressible Ryan Ellis from the PE Umbrella. We have known Ryan for some years now - sharing conversations and actual coffees in Yorkshire and other parts of the UK.

The PE Umbrella Podcasts
Most people will know Ryan for the creation and curation of his podcasts. The list of guests is eclectic - with practitioners from across the world - sharing conversations about PE, Sport, Physical Activity and Well-being. Ryan and his guests have kept us company - albeit virtually - on many a long drive to schools wanting to experience our Activity Days and/or CPD. More often than not, we have to pull over at motorway service stations to scribble notes from the conversations. Ryan refers to these pearls of wisdom as ‘Knowledge Bombs’ and he’s correct. The podcasts create the perfect blend of support and provocation. In no particular order, here are just a few podcasts that we have listened to - some on more than one occasion:- ‘Putting Physical Activity at the Heart of School Life’ with Headteacher, Ian Holmes
- ‘Living & Breathing a PE Culture’ with Chris Willan, Head Teacher at Water PS
- Cooking in The PE Kitchen with Mark Carter
- The Pedagogy behind Meaningful Experiences in PE
- The Power of PLAY and Building Connection with Mark Collard
