Transfer & Empowerment - Stage 4

I am empowered by movement and physical activity.

  • Being an accomplished tennis player, you know that determination and regulating your emotions is an important part of the game.  To complement your cardiovascular fitness you complete gym sessions several times a week as you know building muscular strength is an important factor in preventing injuries.  You enjoy the physical and mental demands of tennis and decide to further your knowledge by taking part in a coaching course. You hope to influence the culture of your tennis club by becoming a coach and being a role model for others.
