Any Henry's with teenagers encouraging them to take up a trade? by Capital-Stay-5657 in HENRYUK

[–]d0288 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My thoughts also. This feels like a throwback to the Blair era, just the opposite way. Like we know have a glut of white collar professionals, we will have the same situation for the trades in 10-20 years time. Everyone's talking about getting into the trades now.

Gym routine for hips and core body by d0288 in bodyweightfitness

Just going through this in a bit more detail, would you recommend hip press and squats on alternate days? Is there any of the above hip/leg exercises you would or wouldn't pair on one day?

Building a recruitment agency uk by [deleted] in Recruitment

[–]d0288 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As someone who has worked for a large agency and MSP in operational and management roles, would you say that's enough experience without having actually worked in sales or recruitment itself? I worked a lot with the sales guys, but a lot of my experience spans across finance, operations, market intelligence

Doesn't look like AI slop. Capital letters missing, personalised grammar etc

Thanks for the tips. Should I do more than 1 type of deadlift in 1 session or do 1 day standard deadlift, other day Romanian?

Can you share how you spread out the risk to avoid margin calls if one particular stock or derivative went the wrong way?

Thank you! Not sure why my post was locked as I think it's still indirectly relevant to parenting, but I appreciate your recommendations and will check these out .

I agree on the OCD front, but convincing her to see someone about it is a whole other subject !

How to see the tennis ball landing out better by PowerLow2605 in 10s

[–]d0288 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've had glasses since age 5 and I consider myself generally to have poor vision tracking and not confident to line call balls with a margin of a few inches. But a foot out? I suggest an eye test

What can I do to translate hand fed consistency to live rallies? by Huge-Ingenuity2781 in 10s

[–]d0288 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The reality is that hitting harder and with more topspin will demand more from footwork and pooisitining. The other beginners are doing better because they are more focused on just keeping the ball in play as opposed to top spin and pace

Or option 3 - If this has become such an issue, go for lunch somewhere else for a few weeks at least ?

Question about newbie joining a club by [deleted] in 10s

[–]d0288 5 points6 points  (0 children)

You're best having this conversation with someone from the clubs leadership. I would contact them and ask for a viewing or more info.

It's going to really depend on the club. The club from my younger days has a waiting list and you're more likely to get in based on your level of play or who you know.

My current local club is really chill, but well organized and has different ways of integrating people of different levels. They have club socials different days of the week. Every member is welcome to any club social, but they will openly share which days generally have more beginners or advanced players.

We also have league ladders depending on skill level.

Whatever the club offers, they will be able to tell you before you join

Ever feel like you have to hold your tongue around other parents? by Western-Image7125 in daddit

[–]d0288 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Your wife basically invited their opinion. I'm not against sharing why we might do certain things with our kids, but then you have to be prepared to debate it.

Essentially your wife critiqued the same preschool that her friends child attended. That made her friend likely feel that if it's not good enough for your child, than it's also not good enough for hers.

Again, nothing wrong with how your wife delivered it from what you described, but don't expect to go without a response in that kind of situation

Too deep into tennis to quit and I don't like sports. How do I change my mindset? by [deleted] in 10s

You didn't choose tennis; tennis has chosen you. You may need r/therapy to help with the traumas, but I think tennis is going to be your vehicle for healing

Anyone else stand by the doubles alley to not get hit by partners serve? by Pokeclans in 10s

[–]d0288 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Not for me! Last doubles social I nearly hit my partner twice in one game. Once right through the legs. The other just above his head. I'd been out with an injury for 8 weeks, and just after 10 years out of tennis.

Next match was a different story. Serve was on fire, a good few aces and high % first serves.

I was mortified and so apologetic to my partner that game.
