Reflecting on another great Superstar event, it makes me further realise the huge impact healthy competition can have on a child’s whole perspective on life. We often say we strive to make sport fun, bring positivity and focus, but what does that really mean? The benefits are much more wide reaching, as the importance of promoting a growth mindset can set a child up for a life of happiness allowing them to thrive and discover their true potential. That is our mission. Teams of children from across the country competed across 8 events with the immediate joy of running on an athletics track, leaping into a long jump pit and experiencing the thrill of competition. Afterwards my team sat, exhausted and emotional from their incredible efforts, looking at the trophy wishing they could lift it high. Then the winner was announced. It wasn’t us! The disappointment and frustration was hugely apparent. They looked dejected; thinking their efforts had been in vain. It could have been all too easy to start assigning blame on their team mates or making excuses for the loss. But there was none of that, not one utter. Instead after a few minutes they looked down at their medals (all children had received medals) and started to feel pride in their achievements. As I looked around I could see every team of children doing exactly the same. Mini Athletics had taught the athletes resilience by allowing them to embrace the joy of losing! Leaving the event with big smiles on their faces, one by one the team started telling me how they were more determined than ever to win the trophy next time. What an incredible motivator! I couldn’t have been more proud. Rather than being consumed by failure, there was no sense of failure, just a desire to learn more and to work harder to succeed. The true mark of champions! With this growth mindset there are no failures in life, just opportunities to learn and for self improvement. Life is a series of challenges, it is such challenges that make the world fun and exciting. This is the magic of Mini Athletics, our mission is to inspire a lifelong love of learning for a healthy body and mind, and so a lifetime of joy and happiness! #minathletics #londonsport #youthsporttrust #earlyyears #athletics

All children love rainbows right?! A whole rainbow of colours are used in a variety of ways in our classes to motivate and brighten the day. Coloured cones are not just cones here, they are used imaginatively to colour match, perhaps taking the red cone ‘fish’ to the red hoop ‘house’. Talking about these colours during class can help toddlers become more familiar with the names and characteristics of different colours, which can help them as they begin to learn about more complex concepts like colour mixing. We learn and play with colours together! #earlylearning #earlyyears #earlyyearsdevelopment #physicaleducation #miniathletics

By promoting social skills, independence, physical activity, a love for learning, academic readiness and positivity and support, we hope to help parents and guardians prepare their children for the transition to school, giving children the opportunity to thrive in school from the very beginning. #schoolreadiness #receptionready #earlyyearslearning #eyfs #miniathletics
