Making Positive Opportunities the Norm

They say that experience is everything and that is certainly true in sport & physical activity. Negative experiences stay with us, whether it is a bad experience of school PE, the pain of over training or being left on the sidelines whilst all of your friends get to play.

Many brilliant opportunities to be active now exist, but we still hear the word lucky too often.

I was lucky to find a friendly team who didn’t mind my age; or
I was lucky there was a group that accepted beginners.

We are grateful for the opportunities when they come and we blame ourselves when we aren’t good enough or we don’t fit the mould.

At Proper Active we don’t want people to feel lucky, we think positive opportunities should be the norm and the expectation.
