WHY WE ARE SO SUCCESSFUL AND
DIFFERENT FROM OTHER PROJECTS
Get on Track’s greatest success is its ability to motivate young people and to
increase confidence, self-esteem and determination
The young people clearly respected the sporting champions that they had
worked with, and praised them for possessing many admirable mentoring
qualities
The passion and commitment that the athlete mentors display in relation to
improving the life chances of disadvantaged young people is to be commended
