Hertfordshire Developing Well• The schools were allocated an Athlete Mentor who delivered two or three

workshops to a group of young people.

• The schools selected the workshops from the following:

• Red Head / Blue Head: Coping strategies to find calm and deal with stressful

situations.

• Active Bodies: Movement based activities and sports that could be used at

home with family members.

• Happy Me: Understanding healthy and toxic friendship choices and achieving

life balance and ambitions.

• Team Family: Creating positive environments at home - work, eat, play and rest.

• New Shoes: Understanding others, improving communication skills, and dealing

with new situations and peer pressure.

• The Athlete Mentor also delivered an inspirational talk to whole school or year

groups. Athletes shared their life stories detailing how their sporting experiences

helped them to build resilience, handle failure and find confidence to succeed.

More importantly how these skills helped them in the classroom

and in life.

Teacher Feedback

Mentors helped the young people to develop physically, mentally and socially.
