BBC News: Schoolgirl thanks sport for giving her confidence

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.”
