## Resource

In this episode, Andrew speaks with Dr. Lawrence Foweather , researcher and lecturer at Liverpool John Moores University and one of the key contributors to the Physical Literacy Consensus Statement for England (2023) . Lawrence has spent two decades researching how children, adolescents, and adults engage with movement and physical activity. They explore: the origins and evolution of physical literacy why it resonates across policy, practice, and real-world movement settings how the concept differs from “moving more” how physical literacy unfolds across the life course , from early years to older adulthood the role of motivation, enjoyment, capability, and relationships the Thrive principles (Tailored, Holistic, Reflective, Inclusive, Varied, Empowering) emerging research on balance , falls prevention, and middle-age “prevention windows” why not all minutes of activity are equal This conversation offers a clear, accessible, and profoundly human take on why movement matters - not as a set of guidelines, but as a lifelong relationship.
