As part of Work Experience Week, Year 10 students got a taste of life in the world of sport during the Careers in Sports sessions, held on Thursday 1st and Thursday 8th May.
Designed to do more than just get students moving, the bootcamp-style sessions combined practical activities with career insight to inspire students to explore the wide range of opportunities within the sports industry.
From adrenaline-pumping relay races to intense circuit exercises blending cardio and strength training, students experienced the physical demands often faced by professionals in the field. But the sessions weren’t just about fitness — motivational talks on themes such as ‘mind over matter’ offered a powerful glimpse into the mindset and discipline needed not only for success in sporting careers, but also for life.
The energy was high, the effort was real, and the feedback was overwhelmingly positive. By the end of both sessions, students left with a deeper appreciation of what it takes to thrive in the world of sport — and perhaps with a new ambition sparked.
