Yesterday our Academy Sport + pupils had their first trip to Warrington Youth Zone. This was to have a much more in depth look into physical and mental preparation, wellbeing, nutrition and fitness testing. This was a really exclusive experience for our young people as they got time to talk with industry professionals and they also contributed to some athletic testing, where pupils completed fitness testing of different physical components
They had several talks through the trip, educating them on the importance of mind set, before and after sporting events. This is crucial not just for our young people to perform to the best of their physical ability, but being mentally strong to combat any outcome.
They also enjoyed team building activities at Warrington Youth Zone, here you can see them rock climbing.
