The Results
The sessions gave them tangible strategies they could implement on the pitch, in the gym, or wherever their performance was being tested. From breathing and focus to reframing pressure moments, Red2Blue equipped them with a toolkit to stay cool and perform when it counts. Even after the first session, the impact was clear. The students were not only engaged—they were applying what they’d learned almost immediately. According to Mr Hesketh, The Head of Athlete Performance, Games and Geography Teacher, “Many of the boys commented that they were already able to use the tools to help maintain their calmness, clarity, and control of attention in competitive sporting battles.”
As the Performance Support Pathway continues, these young athletes now have a stronger mental foundation to build upon, whether they go on to compete at higher levels or simply want to become more composed, focused individuals.
