Virtual Extra-Curricular Sessions

More than 40 pupils had the chance to listen to Prof Graeme Close, who talked about Diet, Nutrition and his experiences in elite sport. Graeme is part of the England Rugby setup and gave the group an insight in to what he was tasked with doing whilst away with the side during the 2019 Rugby World Cup in Japan.

The following day, 30+ boys and girls joined GB and England Olympian Michael Hoare for a ‘Hockey at Home’ session. This gave the group a chance to train with an Olympic athlete and ask some questions about his journey from the NW to the Rio Olympics. He was so impressed with the group he has agreed to come back and do some more sessions in the coming weeks with some special guests, watch this space.
