Have you ever noticed how straight after Wimbledon, your local tennis courts are full of children whacking balls, inspired by the sport to get out and have a go? We have, and we believe that the 2012 Olympics will provide the same impetus for children to be involved in and introduced to sport on a whole new level.
We have also noticed though, that a few months after Wimbledon those same tennis courts are a little emptier than during the competition, and we think that’s an opportunity lost.
We’d like to harness some of the inspiration that children will receive during the summer of 2012, and so we are planning to have a number of our best athletes ready to take the hands of our children and jump into the post-olympic slipstream with them, making sure that their enthusiasm doesn’t fizzle away with the fireworks at the closing ceremony!
If you’re involved in Olympic sport and would like to be a mentor or could hook us up with some potential mentors please get in touch.
