Pupils from Risca Comprehensive School have been getting inspired to take part in sport – thanks to a motivational mentoring session from South African international rugby player Thinus Delport.
As part of Sky Sports ‘Living for Sport’ initiative, which uses sport to motivate and inspire 11 to 16-year-olds, Delport visited Risca Comprehensive School and delivered a powerful presentation to ten pupils who are currently not involved in any sport.
Thinus spoke about his childhood, his background and how he made it as a rugby union international.
After the presentation, the pupils were asked to come up with a list of the sports they would like to take part in.
Jon Hughes, Sport Caerphilly School Sports Co-ordinator and Risca Comprehensive School’s PE department signed the school up for the free initiative.
