 Case study: Peter Holden
Peter is a perfect example of how Your
Choice can have a positive impact on a person’s lifestyle and increase
participation in physical activity. Peter, as with many adults, was
finding it difficult to find suitable activities aimed solely at adults
and which could accommodate people regardless of previous experience or
ability.
Peter’s first Your Choice session was basketball at Leigh Indoor Sports
Centre in October 2008. Since this time he has progressed to off road
jogging and also the badminton session held at Howe Bridge Sports Centre
which runs in conjunction with the Badminton Singles Super Series.
Although Peter had no previous experience in any of these activities he
has thrived on the opportunities and has since completed a 10km Great
Manchester run and is still participating in the Badminton Singles Super
Series at Howe Bridge. In fact, he only just missed out on promotion to
Division 1.
Peter continues to attend all these sessions on a regular basis and is
confirmation that the project can make a difference to people with no
current involvement in physical activity and give people the opportunity
to improve their health and well being in a relaxed, fun environment. |
