Aims, Objective & Outcomes
Aims
Objectives
Outcomes
• AIMS
• Becoming an active participant
• OBJECTIVES
• To become actively engaged with sport and exercise, to understand how sportspeople who
embody the values of determination and courage can teach valuable lessons about life and
sport and how they can use those values in their own sporting endeavours
• OUTCOMES
• Thinking about how you can use determination and courage to inspire you to make the right
decisions and do what you think is right
Icebreakers
• BUZZ RELAY
• Form 2 teams of 5-8
players each and sit them
in 2 rows back to back,
holding hands – now give
a team member at each
end a small object e.g.
pen, coin. The object of
the game is to send a
pulse from hand to hand
through the team to the
person holding the object
who then drops it into a
wastepaper bin. The first
team to do this wins. You
can also play best of 3, or
time the fastest run
• SNAKE
• Form the group into a
circle and ask them all to
hold hands. Now decide
who is the head and tail
of the snake and tell them
to let go of each other’s
hands. The head’s aim is
to reach the tail and s/he
can do this in any way
they like –but the other
members of the group
must keep holding hands!
Once the head has
reached the tail, it’s up to
the rest of the snake to
try and untangle
themselves
• BALL TOSS GAME
• Form the group into a
circle – now throw a ball
to one young person and
ask them to say what
courage/determination
means to them. When
they’re finished they
throw the ball to another
young person across the
room. Continue until each
young person has had
their say. You could also
use this as an evaluation
where young people say
something they enjoyed
or learned in the session
Discussion Points
PRINT THEM OFF!
STICK THEM UP!
GET PEOPLE TALKING!
Need more ideas? Use the ‘Know Your Values’ quiz
http://getset.london2012.com/en/resources/14-16/games-1-1-1-1/14-16-knowyour-values to kick start some great conversations
Do you think Oscar
Pistorius – a
Paralympian – should
be allowed to run in
the Olympics? If so,
why?
If you were a
sportsperson and you
knew your teammate
was doping, would you
have the courage to
speak out about it?
Which is most
important in sport –
the determination
to succeed or the
courage to try?
Why do you think Dame
Tanni Grey Thompson has
been able to overcome her
disabilities to achieve such
massive success in sport?
"You gain strength, courage,
and confidence by every
experience in which you
really stop to look fear in
the face - you must do the
thing you think you cannot
do.“ Do you agree?
Light Bite Activities:
Determination and Courage
DETERMINED FEET:
what can you pick up
using only your toes?
OVERCOME OBSTACLES:
Can you wriggle round
cones zipped in a sleeping
bag?
BLINDFOLD BALLOON:
How many water balloons
do you have the courage to
catch blindfold?
4 LEGGED RACE:
do you have the determination to
win a 4 legged race – like a 3 legged
race but with 3 people!
Determination and Courage:
The Derek Redmond Story
FIRST STEPS
• Familiarise young people with Derek Redmond’s story
• Print out a copy of the photo of Derek and his dad Joe and display on a noticeboard or hand round the
group – what emotions or values does it make you think about?
DO IT & THINK ABOUT IT
• Watch the video of Derek Redmond at the Barcelona Olympics
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HFKpZnok10s
• Think about: 3 lessons that you could learn from Derek & Joe Redmond e.g. never give up
• Think about: examples of determination and courage in your own life and how you felt
• Think about: If you were interviewing Derek or Joe what questions would you ask them?
WHAT NEXT?
• Find out what happened to Derek Redmond after his athletics career finished – does it surprise you?
• Jim Redmond will be carrying the Olympic Torch – why not find out where the Olympic torch relay is
going to be nearest to you and cheer on the torchbearers?
The Derek Redmond Story
Derek Redmond is a triple Gold medal winning
400 metre runner whose career was blighted by
injury. He went to the Barcelona Olympics in 1992
hoping to win a medal but instead his hamstring
ruptured in his semi final heat and Redmond
collapsed on the track in agony. However, as the
Red Cross workers approached with a stretcher,
Derek picked himself up and started to limp towards the finish line. He said
later "I said to myself: 'There's no way I'm going to be stretchered out of
these Olympics’”. Derek’s father Jim fought his way onto the track to try and
persuade his son to stop but Derek refused. "Well then," Jim said, "we're
going to finish this together." And finish it they did, slowly, and with the
younger man's anguish becoming visibly greater with every pace. The
crowd responded to this incredible display of courage by giving father and
son a standing ovation. It remains one of the greatest examples of
determination and courage in the history of the Olympics.
Determination and Courage:
Martine Wright’s Story
Plan It
Do It
Familiarise young people
with Martine’s story
Play a game of sitting
volleyball – you will need
a net and net supports
and suitable ball
-
- Learn the rules of
sitting volleyball
www.sittingvolleyball.org
/sittingvolleyballruleswo
vd.pdf
Think about: how you
would react in Martine’s
situation
Think about: how you
felt playing the game –
was it easy? Did the
restrictions make it
difficult?
Review It
Ask each young person
to stand up and say
one key thing about
their experience –
could be how much
they enjoyed it, what
they learned, what
they’d like to do next
Think about: adapting
another sport for
athletes with disabilities
Martine Wright’s Story
In a cruel twist of fate, Martine Wright was only
travelling on a tube train on 7/7 because she’d
been out the night before celebrating London
getting the Olympics. Now, 7 years after she
lost both her legs in the London bombings, she
is due to represent her country at the
Paralympics – as she says “I feel like I am
meant to do this”.
Feeling lucky to have survived, Martine was
determined to make a positive out of a negative
and joined a sitting volleyball team as a new
challenge. Now she has been selected for the
GB team that will compete at the Paralympics.
She says “no one should underestimate what
sport can give you”. She will wear the number 7
shirt as Team GB take on the rest of the world.

WHAT NEXT:

people will set goals and targets and
meet them. Agree ways that you are

Creating Mementos:
Overcoming Obstacles, Achieving Dreams
LET’S DO IT!
PLAN:
Get some stones (large enough
to write on), some balloons –
you’ll also need art materials
Ask young people to think about
the obstacles that hold them
back – use the stones to
represent obstacles and
decorate them with words or
pictures. The balloons represent
dreams so decorate them with
words and images that represent
hopes and dreams
WHAT HAPPENS NOW?
* Ask young people to tie their
balloon(s) to their stone(s) and
create a sculpture
* Release the balloons and write
the date of release on the other
side of the stone – now decorate
& use these stones to make a
rock garden!
THINK ABOUT: the courage and determination you need to overcome obstacles and achieve your dreams
Evaluation & Recording
• Go round the circle and ask
each young person for their
thoughts on the session – for
each thought (or question)
put a penny in a jar. Keep
this going through the year
