Aspiring Minds with Dame Kelly Holmes Legacy Trust

Aspiring Minds is a support programme for young people, which focuses on the attitudes and skills required for personal success in the modern world.

Using a trained group of Olympic and world class athletes as role models in combination with a skilled team of trained communicators, the programme delivers a range of tried and tested activities and interventions which help young people of all abilities to raise their aspirations and motivation, supported by Dame Kelly Holmes.

The programme consists of a delivered day in the school consisting of a range of interactive sessions delivered by an Olympic athlete and skilled team of communicators, covering:

• Attitudes and skills for success
• Teamwork and communication
• Personal target setting and goals
• Problem solving and overcoming barriers
• Risk taking, and learning from mistakes
• Creative thinking

Participants are also given a Dame Kelly Holmes Legacy Trust wristband, creating a powerful sense of belonging and constant and instant reminder for young people of the right attitude and state of mind for achieving success.

Breathing for Life Challenge

An interactive workshop (supported by GlaxoSmithKline) takes the students through a range of tasks looking at diet, body and energy systems. Additional support material and a PowerPoint presentation is provided for the students to work through a series of related questions at the end of the session. We also provide a follow on lesson worksheet and teachers' notes.

Fitness Testing

This workshop provides the opportunity for students to assess their fitness levels (in a non-intrusive, fun environment) across a range of areas including: lung function, flexibility, grip strength, leg strength, heart rate and body fat.  A great chance for students to asses their bodies, using a range of different equipment, in a fun but informative way.
