Paralympic swimmer and triathlete David Hill swapped international competitions for the #TeamMTB to launch our week of sport today which culminates in our sports day on Friday. David lead an energetic afternoon of fitness and inspiration. The visit was part of the '#greatalthlete ' initiative, a programme that connects elite sportsmen and women with primary schools to promote physical activity and encourage healthy lifestyles among young people. Our enthusiastic athletes were given the rare opportunity to train alongside a 3times Paralympian who guided them through a high-energy fitness circuit while sharing his powerful personal story. Born without a forearm, David began swimming as a child by the sea and went on to become Team GB's youngest athlete to reach the 100m backstroke final at the 2004 Athens Paralympics and again at London 2012. He later transitioned to triathlon, achieving a fourth-place finish at the 2013 olympics in Rio. His motto, "There's no such word as can't", formed the heart of his message to students about determination, perseverance and resilience. Having David Hill visit our school was truly inspirational for our children. His story of overcoming challenges and his dedication to sport perfectly reflects our ethos here at TeamMTB. We're committed to providing high-quality PE that not only builds skills and fitness but also encourages resilience, teamwork, and a lifelong love of activity. David's visit has given our athletes memories and motivation that will last a lifetime. #paralympics #paralympian #olympiclegacy #parathlete
