Train Your Brain

Train Your Brain leadership and Activators Programme

“The value of a college education is not the learning of many facts but the training of the mind to think.” Albert Einstein

A group of our Year 9 girls have been involved within an 8-week programme, which was aimed to provide students with the confidence and knowledge to either deliver or co deliver body weight warmups/ cool downs and run small mini bodyweight sessions. Within the course we looked at the following.

• Key roles and responsibilities of a coach
• Coaching mindset
• The importance of nutrition and exercise
• body weight movements (coached and co- delivered)
• creation of a small bodyweight HIIT sessions (10 min max)
• health and safety in the gym

The course was delivered by Chloe Hinnigan the owner of Train Your Brain. All students were successful in completing the course and they all received a certificate of completion.

Thank you to Redbridge School who kindly supported the programme and enabled their students to participate in the practical sessions.

Headteacher Paul Stirling said, “this was a remarkable opportunity for our young people to be involved in, highlighting once again the many opportunities that being a member of our community provides for our students.”
