Example Award Winners . . .		 Inspiration: Faster, Higher, Stronger

We can get inspiration from the achievements and actions of others that can help show us how to make a success of our own lives. Many sports people become role models because of what they achieve and how they achieve it. They have developed the personal qualities required for success.

 What to do . . .

For this activity choose any Olympic or Paralympic athlete. Use the resources below to help and ask yourself the following questions:

- Why do you find them inspiring?
- What is it about this person that you admire?
- What are their ideals, values or characteristics?
- Why and how do you think they have achieved success?

Remember it is not just about writing. You could include drawings or pictures to get across what you want to say. Keep a note of any inspiring quotations you find!
