Full Circle, 2016

The ‘obsession with men’s sport’ was also seen as a problem. “Because of Wales’ sporting
success, there is a massive emphasis on male success in sports.
“This mentality is flushed into us from an early age. Even in secondary school, only boys were
‘allowed’ to play certain sports, including rugby” (Giant, 2016)

Thought For The Week - Session 4

          “Success”

                                     Reflection Time

                                   Think of a time when
                                   you have overcome
                                    failure to achieve
                                         success.
Thought For The Week - Session 5

                                                   “Success”
        Walt Disney. - He was fired by a newspaper editor because he said he lacked
        imagination and had no good ideas.
        After that, he started a number of businesses that didn't last too long and ended with
        bankruptcy and failure. However, he kept plugging along and eventually found a recipe
        for success that worked.

                                         Soichiro Honda. - He began with a series of failures like many others. In 1922, he was
                                         turned down by Toyota for a job position as an engineer.
                                         He was left jobless for quite some time. In this time, he started making scooters from
                                         his home and, after 6 years, finally started his own business. Consequently, Honda has
                                         been the world's largest motorcycle manufacturer since 1959!

        Stephen Spielburg. - While today his name is synonymous with big budget films he
        was rejected from the University of Southern California School of Theatre, Film and
        Television three times! He eventually attended school at another location, only to drop
        out to become a director before finishing. Thirty-five years after starting his degree, He
        returned to school in 2002 to finally complete his work and earn his BA degree.

                                        Lionel Messi - He has been named the finest football player in the world today, but
                                        his road to this title was not so easy. At the age of 11 he was diagnosed with growth
                                        hormone deficiency. This meant that he did not grow tall enough to play football
                                        professionally and no club was willing to pay the $900 a month for his treatment.
                                        Despite all of these obstacles, he kept trying! Finally, one of the best clubs in the world,
                                        Barcelona FC, saw his talent, gave him a trial and offered to pay for his medical bills if he
                                        was willing to move to Spain.

                                   Reflection Time
Read the success stories above and take a moment to think about what you need to do to
                                       succeed.
Challenges

• Curriculum
          Academic demands of other subjects
          Vulnerable students often excluded or in isolation
          Time – a missed lesson, half term etc. can affect learning progression and
relationships
• Isolation of SRE staff
          Other members of staff can unwittingly undermine the messages promoted in PSE
and SRE – values and experiences brought into        the classroom; PSE and SRE viewed as
opinion
• Resources
         Official resources, approved speakers can perpetuate victim blaming
         and rape culture
         Content doesn’t match young people’s contexts

• Social Media/Fake News/Social experiments
          Challenge of supporting young people to appraise/evaluate online
          experts

• Wider School Culture
         Emphasis on male sport, predominance of PE staff in pastoral
         roles, input from football, rugby organisations and personnel
         reinforces polarised messages relating to gender; ‘locker room
         banter’, uniform school rules, victim blaming reinforced in
behavioural        interventions, lack of pastoral training
