To demonstrate perseverance, hard work and determination, I created this assembly to share the story of Ben Larcombe, who aimed to become an expert in table tennis in a year! This assembly comes with notes to guide through each of the slides, as well as any links to videos. My version of this assembly links to the Olympics and golf, where I have set myself the challenge of becoming an expert golf player in a year! However, this could be easily adapted to suit your chosen sport or activity. This assembly has great scope to making a display about your progress and sharing how pupils have persevered at a task, as well as opportunities to create further assemblies about your progress! I'm still terrible at golf. Any feedback is greatly received and I hope you enjoy using this resource!

This assembly presentation tells the story of the former F1, Touring Car and CART racer Alex Zanardi. Following a successful career in motorsport, Zanardi suffered a life-changing accident in 2001, resulting in both of his legs being amputated. However, this didn't deter him from winning Paralympic and World Championship medals in another sporting discipline along the way. This is a fantastic story of resilience, perseverance and being positive, even when times are challenging. This assembly comes complete with slides, images and supporting notes, allowing the assembly to be delivered instantly. Any reviews and feedback are gratefully received. I hope you enjoy using this resource!
