Great story.
Imagine if more kids were given sport as an aid to help them boost their esteem.
“Schoolgirl Kiera Halliwell tells BBC Sport that a school-based scheme, which encourages youngsters to get into sport, helped her become more confident as a teenager.
Kiera, who attends Werneth School near Manchester, admits that she didn’t enjoy PE lessons, until she was encouraged by her teacher Tracy Sloane to try out a range of different sports, including Dodge Ball and Zumba.
Kiera is one example of the many school children aged between 11-14 who, according to the Youth Sport Trust , had become disengaged with sport since leaving Primary School.”
