Sir Steve Redgrave on sporting promise

PE and sport
Alternative sports are a great way of engaging students who may not be inspired by traditional games. Sir Steve Redgrave discusses his support of the Sporting Promise initiative.

I have been fortunate to be involved in many occasions that could be regarded as inspirational. 

From my five gold medals for Great Britain as an Olympic rower, to my role in the lighting of the cauldron at London 2012 – there have been a number of high-profile occasions where I have been part of events with the power to inspire others. 

Most importantly of all, I hope they have been moments in time that have inspired young people. 

If we are to become a healthier, more active nation then we must encourage and inspire school children to develop an interest in PE and sport and ensure it becomes a part of their everyday lifestyle.
