Do you want to be a sports journalist?

When Caroline was a little girl, she wanted to be a journalist and she really wanted to be a sports journalist. She did PE GCSE (exams we take in England at 16 years of age) at school and for the non-practical element, she created a school newsletter focussing on the Winter Olympics. (I’m pretty sure it was the 1994 Lillehammer Winter Olympics but in researching this, I’ve realised that the dates don’t really add up so it may well have been Albertville ‘92! CK)

Confidence boosting ... taekwondo

This week we are focusing on taekwondo! As many as 70 million people practice this Korean martial art globally and it is a sport that has weathered lockdown well. Many classes have been able to continue online thanks to their format and content. If you’re looking for something new, this might be the sport for you.
