Hello, I’m Zoe, and I became a part of Sport4Life in May 2021. Interestingly, my journey with this organisation began as a young person accessing their services in November 2020. Having graduated as a sports therapist in 2019, I faced the unfortunate setback of being unable to practise due to the COVID-19 pandemic. This left me feeling lost and stagnant in my personal development. That’s when I decided to seek help from Sport4Life through a self-referral, and I have been an active member ever since.

Working with young people and adults is my true passion, and I get satisfaction from helping them realise their full potential. As someone who is proudly dyslexic, I understand that conventional learning methods don’t always cater to everyone’s needs. Therefore, I make it a priority to create inclusive, engaging, and accessible sessions for all participants. There’s nothing quite like the joy of witnessing others achieve their goals, break out of their comfort zones, and it remains one of the most fulfilling aspects of my job.

Sport has always held a special place in my heart, whether I’m watching or playing it, as it possesses a unique ability to unite people and teach us valuable life lessons. Alongside my love for sport, I also find great joy in volunteering. In fact, I had the incredible opportunity to volunteer at the 2023 Special Olympics World Games held in Germany Berlin.

A fun fact about me is that I had the incredible opportunity to perform in the opening ceremony for the Birmingham 2020 Commonwealth Games. The event achieved the attention of over 1.5 billion viewers worldwide, and a live audience of 30,000 individuals.

Hi I’m Becky and I joined Sport 4 Life in September 2023 after previously working as a sports and dance teacher in a primary school. Before I started teaching, I attended a performing arts school where I studied dance. Whilst attending BOA I was fortunate enough to dance at many events including Wireless Festival and Free Radio Live. After attending BOA I knew I wanted to pass my skills on and get into teaching and that’s exactly what I did. After working in schools for 9 years I felt like it was the right time to move on and that’s where I found Sport 4 Life.
I decided to join Sport 4 Life as their values really stood out to me. Due to my previous job, it is my passion to help young people fulfil their full potential and that’s exactly what Sport4Life does.  I am really looking forward to getting stuck into my role as an education and skills trainer to pass on the skills and knowledge I have learned over the years of being a teacher.
A fun fact about me is that I used to do ballroom and Latin dancing and was 3rd  in the country in my category.
