What made you choose P.E as a G.C.S.E subject?

Because I enjoy it.

What aspects of P.E do you enjoy?

Football and Water polo.

Why do you like football and Water polo?

Umm, it is practical and I enjoy playing football as I play for a team out of school, and water polo is probably my strongest area as I have been selected to play for England under 16.

Oh, congratulations!

Thanks.

What is your impression on the theory in P.E?

I actually enjoy it.

Why you say ‘actually’ enjoy it?

Eh, because normally many people think of theory as being boring and all thier interested in is the practical side, but I enjoy both.

Why?

I like to know the body’s composition and how everything works, and because I am training quite a lot it benefits me knowing what my body is doing and how to improve.

Are your parents involved in sport?

Yes, both of parents love sport. My father was an Olympic athlete and that is my ambition to become one myself.

How have your parents influenced you in P.E and sport?

Well they have always stressed to me that my education is important. My first impression of P.E was playing sport like we mainly did in years 7,8 and 9.

Was there with no theory?

Yes, there was some theory, but not much and it was quite easy. My parents have always been interested in my work especially in P.E.

Good, what or whom has influenced your attitude in P.E?

Umm, I think my parents and Mr. Molyneux have influenced me the most, but I have always liked P.E so I have always been keen to improve.

Mr. Molyneux is your P.E teacher, how and why has he influenced you?

Join now!

He has always taken me for P.E and he has helped me improve. He is very enthusiastic and is always interested in how I am getting on with my water polo as he introduced the sport to me.

Would you say you have a good relationship with him?

Yes, I can have a joke with him and talk to him about anything.

Do you respect him?

Very much so, plus he knows what he is talking about, because he is an international badminton player himself. Especially when I talk about the England trials.
