Champions in Schools
Edinburgh Touch players Mikey Short and Ru Clements (both Edinburgh Ice & Sixpack) are now part of the Champions in Schools role model programme that the charity Winning Scotland Foundation run. Champions in Schools is a programme that places some of Scotland’s most influential role models – its sporting heroes – in the classroom. Through a series of three inspirational workshops, these elite athletes encourage young people to set and achieve personal ambitions, pursue a healthy and active lifestyle, appreciate the value of hard work and adopt a positive winning attitude. The programme was founded by Susan Jackson, a triple Commonwealth games medallist, and former Scotland rugby internationalist Gregor Townsend. They explored many similar role model programmes around the world and developed a new programme for Scotland.
