Visiting schools across the North West in my role as an athlete mentor, one thing is clear – PE is changing, and it is for the better.
Gone are the days when traditional sports were the only PE option, today schools are embracing the diversity of their student bodies by offering a wide variety of sporting options to suit every taste.
In my visits to schools over the past academic year I have been astounded by the range of sports on offer having witnessed students participating in horse-riding, zumba classes, ice-skating and even ultimate frisbee! Having made a career out of a non-traditional sport myself, it is fantastic to see schools being more creative about their sporting offer and I am positive this is going a long way towards instilling long-term positive attitudes to sport among students.
