Live and Learn Like a Champion

Beth Tweddle Gymnastics (formerly Total Gymnastics) are working in partnership with the Liverpool Healthy Schools Team to launch the Live and Learn Like a Champion programme today, marking 200 days to go to London 2012. 

‘Live and Learn like a Champion’ is a brand new initiative that was launched by CfBT at the Lincolnshire Show. It aims to educate and encourage students of all ages to get involved in the Olympics by following seven key values.

The challenges school children will face include both sporting and cultural activities from, drama to fashion to dance along with other core areas of learning. The key aim is to motivate young people in many areas relating to the Olympics in addition to Sport.

The program encourages children to complete activities that develop seven core values: friendship, respect, excellence, equality, courage, determination, and inspiration. Each activity will be recorded in the 'Legacy Log' to document their journey before being awarded a certificate in either bronze, silver or gold.

Beth Tweddle Gymnastics (formerly Total Gymnastics) Director and Olympic gymnast, Beth Tweddle MBE, will officially launch the programme today at the Wavertree Athletics Centre in Liverpool.
