Welcome. The Outlier is a weekly letter exploring where unlikely things collide — sport and scholarship, muscle and thought, the individual and the tribe — written by a man who played and now reads and writes.
There’s a lot of writing here so here are a few of the best ways in. Have a peruse and subscribe if you like what you read.
On fainting and splitting my chin open and the distance between the old and the new you.

Everyone’s trying to get ahead
The Boys and Books series outlines my Boys’ Literacy Project work in secondary schools. The pilot was successful enough that I’m looking for funding to scale up this work, helping teenage boys get into reading books.

That’s enough for you to get a taste! If you want more, try my books or you can subscribe to hear from me more regularly.
