This resource introduces the different perceptions, often negative, that can arise within sport. Using examples from the elite level of the game, students are asked to watch or read stimulus materials, and discuss as a group what they think and feel about it. Explore this PHSE teaching resource to better understand why negative perceptions can develop in a sporting context, and how to approach these challenging topics. Use this as starter activity to build understanding of how to approach challenging topics as well as improving discussion and debating techniques. This resrouce can be used to alongside other PSHE and STEM resrouces at stemcrew.org/englandwomen SUMMER TERM 2022: Use this resrouce as students prepare to submit entries to #ChangeTheGame - stemcrew.org/resources/challenge-perceptions/
