On Monday 9th May, the Sports Scholars were invited to a special session as part of their Ready To Compete programme. The session was led by Annie Willets from Ensemble Fitness who came in to teach the students about Olympic lifting. Students were taught the basic techniques of different lifts as well as practising lifts with weights.
It was great to see the Scholars trying something different and Annie explained how strength training could benefit their overall strength and aid their performance in a range of sports.
The Scholars will continue their sessions over the next term with a number of experts coming in to deliver different activities as well as theory sessions working on the Psychology of sport.
