The importance of motivating and supporting students to play sport.
Being avid sporting enthusiasts, we appreciate the life skills associated with playing sport, both individual and within a team. The ability to recognise your own strengths and weaknesses and having the confidence to focus on areas of personal improvement including: Engaging with team/training mates outside of friendship group, learning to accept and appreciate other's strengths and weaknesses and drawing on strengths and weakness strategically for a specific gain.
These are all life-long competencies that build confidence, promote well-being, cultural diversity and healthy living. Students who generally have been exposed to sport from an early age tend to be more sociable, approachable and have the ability to collaborate with a diverse variety of people.
