The British athlete Bianca Williams joined us on Saturday as our inspirational speaker.
Bianca competed for England at the 2014 and 2018 Commonwealth Games and was proud to show us her Bronze and Gold medals from the 200m and the 4 x 100m relay. She is fifth on the UK all-time list at 200m. Watch her win gold in 2018!
She took a break from training, as we discovered in her talk, to come to Westbourne House to deliver message that hard work and perseverance can help you reach the dreams you aspire to.
After a short presentation the floor was open for questions from the audience. The children asked many wide-ranging questions and we discovered that her time over 100m was 11.17. To achieve this Bianca stressed that high levels of dedication were required.
A refreshing view of pre-race routine was revealed and Bianca does not try to zone out big crowds; she uses the adrenaline to get her to the other end of the race as fast as possible!
