Trying something new can be exciting and uncomfortable at the same time. Josh and Nathan share stories from growing up in Judo to help Years 5 and 6 students explore effort, confidence and learning from mistakes.
The presentation gives students a practical way to think about challenges at school, in their interests and as they prepare for high school. The message is straightforward: you can feel nervous, ask for help and still take the next step.
Subjects include:
- Trying a new activity without expecting to get it right immediately.
- Understanding how practice helps a skill develop.
- Learning from mistakes and having another go.
- Making room for effort, enjoyment and rest.
- Supporting others and asking for support yourself.
These ideas apply beyond sport, whether a student enjoys music, art, learning, games or discovering something new.
