PHILOSOPHY AND VISION
PHILOSOPHY AND VISION
Sport creates heroes and legends and has been at the heart of communities and civilisations dating back to the Ancient Greeks. Sport and physical activity impacts every aspect of our lives, whether it is playing football or rugby at your local sports club, or scaling one of the world's highest peaks. It also creates the "Where were you?" moments, such as when England won the World Cup in 1966, or Jessica Ennis, Mo Farah and Greg Rutherford winning Olympic Gold on "Super Saturday" in London 2012.
Studying sport ignites passion and builds character by developing resilience, confidence, and teamwork. It will develop a lifelong interest in sport and physical activity, and provides students with the knowledge required to make informed life choices. Students gain an insight into the importance of physical fitness and how physical activity can strengthen an individual psychologically. Learning about champions, what makes them the athletes they are and how they develop, will, we hope, create Great Britain's next set of legends.
