Raising Happy Champs with Dr Jen Harris is a supportive, non-judgemental workshop designed to help parents navigate the ups and downs of supporting a young athlete. Drawing on the latest sport psychology research, alongside Jen’s experience as both a researcher and a sport parent, the workshop shares practical strategies to help children build confidence, manage competition-day emotions, develop resilience, and enjoy their sport. Parents will leave with simple, evidence-based tools they can use immediately to support both performance and wellbeing.

Due to popular demand and feedback from previous iterations of BF Learning Week, BF has now extended the event to a Learning Month. Now named BF Learning Month, this year’s event will be taking place between the 23rd July and 21st August 2026.
It is an annual opportunity for our members and wider community to join online developmental and informative sessions in subjects from coaching to community development.
BF Learning Month is also supporting the first online International Fencing Research Committee (IFRC) Conference. The IFRC welcomes leading researchers, coaches, and practitioners from around the world to explore the latest advances in fencing science and methodology.
