Sir Clive Woodward is known for his unique methods of
coaching/training. ‘He took preparation and tactics to a new level,
using all the latest technology and training methods.
He was a very good innovator and came up with ideas such as ice baths
for the players after a game to prevent lactic acid, he also thought
it was a good idea for all of the players to see a psychiatrist as he
believes that mental strength is just as important as physical
strength he says ‘the mind is a very powerful part of sport.. Everyone
else thought that this wasn’t very good ideas but Sir Clive stuck to
them anyway. This shows that he is a good coach as it is important to
be a good innovator, as it will help improve the team’s performance.
For example England’s tour of 1998 was dubbed ‘the tour of hell’ and

His ignominious death is almost common knowledge. Even as far as his astronomical work is concerned, outside of the scientific community, he is perhaps best-known for his geoheliocentric universe, which was later so strongly disproven by his own assistant.
He trained to be a corset maker but he became a tax collector instead. He was desperate for new opportunities. He met Benjamin Franklin he told him to go to America.
His disease, poliomyelitis, had affected him on land but in the water he was as quick as anyone. In 1926 he bought Warm Springs for $200,000(Hacker 40). In 1927 he contributed
I hope I have answered the question “What was his personal life like?” good in here and would like to summarize by saying that he was able to overcome all odds to become a famous inventor that even had a movie made by him. I would also like to say that He made many, many products that we still use all from simple plants like peanuts in summary to the answer of the question “What did he actually do?”. He also had many hobbies that ended up in helping many people (“What did he like to do when he wasn’t working?”). I have found that this man that I knew nothing about before the report is one of the few real life people I know of that overcame so many things in his life that almost no one even knows

.... People wanted to hear what he had to say. People respected him as a person and his knowledge so much that Queen Christina of Sweden wanted to know what he knew. Sadly she wanted the study sessions to be held at five a.m. These study sessions eventually led to his death in 1650 of pneumonia. He probably could’ve lived a lot longer and had a bigger influence of more people if he didn’t die in 1650. As a mathematician he invented and perfected analytical geometry. As a scientist he told everyone about light reflection and refraction. He also talked about space, the moon, the stars and Earth. As a philosopher he inspired people he never even knew with his wise sayings. He gave people a new view on how everything worked. He described the mind being separate from matter simply because it could think. He was truly a great thinker and a great influence to everyone today.
Some of his inventions were improvements on other inventions, like the telephone. He didn’t “invent” the telephone he just made it better. Some of his inventions he did try to invent, like the light bulb and the movie projector. The one he is most proud of was pretty much an accident--the phonograph.
Thomas Alva Edison was one of the greatest inventors. He was a smart man. Thomas invented many things such as the light bulb and phonograph. Without the light bulb we would still be using candles and lanterns like they did many years ago. Although Thomas was deaf he worked hard and never gave up.
