THESE wrestling champs are some of the top athletes who will be helping pupils set and achieve personal ambitions.
The Champions in Schools programme uses the power of role models to create positive change in the lives and lifestyles of children.
And teenagers, like these ones from Calderhead High School in Shotts, will hopefully pick up a winning attitude from some of the country’s leading sportsmen and women.
Twin sisters Fiona Robertson and Donna Robertson represented Scotland at judo in the Commonwealth Games and are now competing in wrestling. They delivered an inspirational workshop to the pupils. The programme will now spread out to other schools in North Lanarkshire.
Champions in Schools is a role-model programme which places Scotland’s top international athletes in the classroom to help pupils set and achieve personal ambitions, pursue a healthy and active lifestyle, appreciate the value of hard work and adopt a positive, winning attitude. It is aimed at pupils in late primary and early secondary school years. An athlete will visit the youngsters three times over the school year.
The champions guide, advise and motivate pupils to become winners who fulfil their potential and who believe that what is important is not how good they are now, but how good they want to become.
