Education & life skills
Education
We want our student-athletes to achieve their best in all aspects of their lives. To this end, we run education sessions in English, maths and science between 4pm and 5pm on Tuesdays and 10am to 11am on Saturdays at the Willesden Sports Centre. These sessions give our student-athletes the chance to catch up on their homework, take past GCSE papers and ask questions of our friendly, experienced tutors.
There is no added charge for our educational support.
Life skills
We want our young people to be well prepared for adulthood, and so we hold sessions to equip them with the skills they need to succeed in the future. Throughout the year, we focus on ten key life skills, namely:
1. Listening
2. Presenting
3. Networking & social skills
4. Problem solving
5. Creativity
6. Staying ppositive
7. Aiming high
8. Discipline
9. Team working
10. Leadership
We hold regular sessions at the Willesden Sports Centre to cover these different areas of life. These could centre around CV writing, nutrition, finance and time management, with special guests often invited to share their own experiences. In addition, we hold visits to businesses across London so our young people can get a sense of what working life is like.
There is no extra charge for these sessions.
