Day 2 – YST SGNF 26 at Loughborough University 🏅
Wow — what a start to Day 2! 🙌
Jenna continued in her mentor role, delivering an energising teamwork workshop that got our young leaders moving, thinking and ready for another action-packed day!
We then headed to the first day of Athletics, where TKAW staff and students had the opportunity to put the School Games values of teamwork and self-belief to the test under pressure.
Our young leaders learned how to set up hurdles for a range of events, from the 100m and 400m hurdles to relay events, gaining a real insight into what goes on behind the scenes to make these competitions happen.
Then came 3x3 Basketball! 🏀
Here, our students supported the amazing young athletes by helping to keep the game flowing and ensuring the ball was quickly back in play.
The talent on display across both running and wheelchair basketball was fantastic and really inspired our young leaders to appreciate the dedication, training and commitment it takes to compete at such a high level. 👏
Finally, the day ended with inspiring talks from National Governing Body (NGB) officials involved in sports including BMX and Athletics.
Students heard some important messages — including that you don't have to be an elite athlete or particularly sporty to get involved in sport.
Perhaps even more importantly, they learned about the value of giving back to the communities you serve, whether that is through sport or elsewhere, and how rewarding and life-changing those experiences can be. 💙
Tired feet, but plenty of energy left to continue living the School Games spirit! The evening finished with team leader games and activities, bringing another fantastic day to a close. 🎉
Bring on Day 3!
