Women Who Lead

“Rather than focusing on the obstacle in your path, focus on the bridge over the obstacle.” Mary Lou Retton

A group of Year 9 students attended a “Women Who Lead” event which consisted of several Inspirational guest speakers from a variety of different fields relating to Sport, talking about their journey and becoming successful.

Our students were involved in Q/A seminars, having the opportunity to research a variety of different sports, also looking at sporting opportunities and careers across the globe!

Inspirational Guest Speakers who our students were honoured and fortunate to meet:

• Megan Kimmance – Creative Director and Co-Founder of Red Run (Sports Attire)
• Helen Webster – Director of Interactive Playground
• Angela Smith – Manager of Stoke FC Women
• Kimia Ghanian – Online Fitness Coach and Influencer
• Bianca Cook – Multiple World Champion and Double Olympic medallist in Taekwondo.

The students really enjoyed the experience and gained valuable knowledge, inspiration and understanding of the opportunities available to them.
