Jack Walton, congratulations on an excellent article. Eric should be in the honours list for next year. How can that be achieved? Can you do a follow up on him later in the year? I particularly liked Stephen who set up something similar in Bournemouth. Naomi Kalu, the young boxer; it’ll be good to know more about her story. We need more people like Eric. Thank you Jack, this left me optimistic.

Another stunningly well written - and researched - article. I particularly resonated with two things - the positive psychology mindset that Eric promotes and the profound effect this has/is having with the gym users and also that Eric bit back to the racist Farage.
Such an evocative article. I remember a similar experience at the boxing gym attached to Stockport College. (I wrote about it in my book Seconds Out, about chess boxing which combines both activities).
Eric’s comment also reminds my of a colleague at the Manchester Business School. In his course on presentation skills he would say in tones rather like Eric’s: ‘the key is emphasis … emphasis… emphasis … each repetition with heavy stress on the first syllable).

We need more people like Eric in this world.
What great blokes. I’ve ever had to face so much, or done so much.

Well done… well done…well done.
