The Aims of Inspire Sport

Inspire Sport aims to help each member develop competencies in these important life skills.

Communication

Communication is the act of transferring information from one place to another, verbal, non-verbal, written, graphs & charts.

We start with a CIRCLE OF FRIENDS where we share news of our week and decide on the activities for the evening

HOW TO IMPROVE YOUR COMMUNICATION

*Be clear about what you want to say, practise it first if necessary.

*Learn to listen; try to see things from the point of view of others.

*Encourage, make people feel welcome and notice their efforts

Confidence

Confidence is not something that can be learned like a set of rules: confidence is a state of mind.

It comes from feelings of well-being, self-esteem and belief in your own ability, skills and experience.
