15 Jun Inspired Through Sport
#GIVINGBACK Athlete Support Programme
On Friday 8th June half of Year 7 took part in the Inspired Through Sport Great British Athlete visit. Inspired Through Sport are a charity who support GB athletes with appearances in schools to help fund expensive training, travel and nutrition cost. Without charities like this many athletes do not reach their full potential due to a lack of funding. Many of the Year 7 students have been busy collecting sponsorship money, 50% of all money collected goes back into Jo Richardson and towards new sports equipment, the other half goes towards supporting our GB athletes.
We were fortunate enough to meet British Wrestling Champion Chloe Spiteri!
Chloe reaching the finals in the London 2012 Olympics and also represented England in the 2014 Glasgow Commonwealth Games!
On the day the students received an inspirational assembly from Chloe where she spoke about her challenges and achievements, fitness coaching sessions led by Chloe herself and finally an athlete Q/A.
The students ended the day feeling inspired and motivated to reach their sporting potential!
