STARS SQUAD EVENT - 20 March 2013

The NULC STARS Squad met up with the other squads from North Staffordshire for an evening in March at Fenton 6th Form College.  The squad attended 2 sessions.  Helen Moors (School Games Organiser for South Stoke) and Craig Hallams (ex-international hammer thrower) went through a nutrition workshop, getting the squad to think about the diet that they have and how to change it, in order to improve their performance.

The second session was with a 2012 Olympic bronze medallist.  Sally Walton from the GB women’s hockey team came to deliver an inspirational talk about the journey she has been on to reach the pinnacle of her sporting career.  Sally talked about her disappointment at not being picked for the Beijing Olympics and the joy of being in the 2012 London Olympics and gaining an Olympic medal for Team GB.  The squad members found the talk very interesting and had lots of questions to ask Sally about her Olympic experience.  The Squad then posed for photos with Sally and got to hold her very heavy bronze medal!
