One very unhappy girl today has started back at her old school in 6th form were she will not be pushed to do well just allowed to plod along. No wonder we don't have good sports people in this country there is just not the help these girls/boys need. :mad:

If she is not prepared to push herself I doubt she would progress far in sport. She needs to be dedicated and push herself.

Plenty sportspeople went to an ordinary school but trained outside school hours.

Does she not have a local club to encourage her?

Yes they all did very well. But You hear it all the time about how funding is being cut for sport in this country. Most of these sports star when being interviewed say how hard it is and we need more youngsters coming through. It just seams a shame.

She has progressed very well in her sport thanks and she is very dedicated. The trouble in non sports schools they have lots of children all at very different levels. In a specialist school they are all of a better standard and can be pushed harder and no one falls behind.

Is there no sponsorship available for the stars of tomorrow. Would the sport's governing body know where you could look?
