Year 4 2025-2026 Blog

Visit from a professional athlete/PT

, , , , , , , ,

Year 4 loved meeting their final visitor of careers week, Andy Robertson, who is a GB sprinter and also a PT. They learnt all about how he juggles two careers and what has inspired him to pick them. It was interesting to find how he struggled to find out what he wanted to do as a career when he retires from athletics, until he settled on PT and coaching. Year 4 particularly enjoyed getting the chance to improve their sprinting technique and applying this to some relay races in the sunshine.
