Wonder River BODY - Confidence through physical activity
Wonder River: BODY gives young people opportunities to build confidence through sport, physical activity and challenge. By learning new skills, trying unfamiliar things, working with others and experiencing progress, young people discover that confidence isn't something you simply have — it's something you can develop.
Our sessions are designed to be active, positive and purposeful. Young people are encouraged to challenge themselves at their own level, learn from mistakes, celebrate progress and experience the satisfaction that comes from improving through practice.
Whether through football skills, sports sessions or physical challenges, the aim is the same: Get active. Take on challenges. Develop skills. Build confidence.
Through Wonder River: BODY, young people don't just develop what they can do — they begin to discover what they are capable of.
All Children
1-1 Sports Coaching
I offer personalised 1-1 sports performance coaching or sports mentoring, with sessions tailored to the needs and goals of each young person.
Sports Performance Coaching focuses on developing sport-specific skills, movement, fitness and technical ability. Sessions may include football ball mastery, agility, coordination, fitness or personalised coaching in a particular sport. I have a specialism in football, cricket and running / general fitness.
Sports Mentoring uses the Wonder River MIND pillars to help young sports players build confidence, resilience, motivation and a positive mindset. Using the recognise - reflect - respond technique, young people are encouraged to develop the habits and self-belief needed to thrive both on and off the field.
COMING SOON!!!!! - Evening Sports Club, Oxfordshire
A relaxed and welcoming evening sports club giving children the opportunity to move, play, try new activities and have fun in a supportive environment.
Sessions will include a mixture of sports, games, movement and challenges, with activities designed to develop confidence, resilience, coordination, teamwork and a positive mindset.
Children don't need to be experienced or highly competitive — the emphasis is on having a go, being active, learning new skills and enjoying being part of a group.
A place to move. A place to play. A place to grow.
