Tagtiv8 Director, Bryn Llewellyn was honoured to be invited to be one of the panelists at the third ‘Women in Sport Conference’ at Headingley Stadium on Wednesday the 18th of October.
The event was organised by the inspirational Kate Hardcastle and Women Sport Conference North and was hosted by one of our hero(in)es, Tanya Arnold.
Bryn joined Shelley Alexander from the BBC and Maura Hyland from Leeds Beckett University on the panel looking at ‘Provision of PE in Schools’. Listening to Shelley talk about OFSTED and inequalities between girls and boys was alarming and reassuring in equal measures. Talking with delegates after, it was clear that Shelley had given them much to consider.
We were blown away by the refreshing attitude and inspiration that is Laura Weightman, Team GB Olympian. We had trouble keeping up with all of her fantastic quotes, though the one that resonated with us was: “It’s all about enjoyment…and surrounding yourselves with good people.”
