PE & Sport
Mentoring
PE & Sport at Elite Sports & Mentoring is firmly rooting in a Sports for all philosophy. PE and school sport is a platform that can change childrens' lives for the better.
All children, whatever their circumstances or abilities, should be able to participate in and enjoy physical
education (PE) and sport.
PE and sport in schools, both within and beyond the curriculum, can improve:
■pupil concentration, commitment and self-esteem; leading to higher attendance and better behaviour
and attainment;
■fitness levels; active children are less likely to be obese and more likely to pursue sporting activities as adults thereby reducing the likelihood of coronary heart disease, diabetes and some forms of cancer;
■success in international competition by ensuring talented young sports people have a clear pathway
to elite sport and competition whatever their circumstances.
Valuing the individual
Why is this programme needed?
Positive aspirations are crucial for young people’s future success; what people aspire to do as children is very strongly linked to what they end up doing later in life. Low aspirations often lead to poor academic attainment and this can be especially true for young people growing up in disadvantaged areas of the UK.
Alongside low aspirations, young people often lack access to same sex role-models and this can negatively affect their self-image, impacting upon their confidence. Elite Sports & Mentoring aims to address this by creating positive mentoring partnerships.
