Sport can create hope, where once there was despair


Listen Later

This week, join Aimee and Charlie as they talk to top performing athletes about the trials and tribulations of their sporting careers. We have chosen the quotation from Nelson Mandela as our episode title because we feel sport will be a way to drive us forward and as a student and teacher team we have seen at first-hand its transformative powers. 

Show Notes:

Paralympian Chloe Ball- Hopkins talks about how she feels being unable to train currently  and why she is setting up a media network to show greater representation of sports for people with disabilities. Worcester cricket player and charity founder Callum Lea explains why he created Sporting Minds UK to help provide support for young athletes. Former GB sprint medallist Richard Buck draws upon his experiences as a top-performing athlete and now actor, to provide an inspirational message about resilience. GB freediver and former horse stuntwoman Nicky Margieson Schellander tells us how recovering from cancer enables her to tackle dives of over 41 metres without any diving equipment
