Ahead is a decade of sport for England. The London Olympics in 2012, The Rugby World Cup 2015 and hopefully the 2018 World Cup.
When this opportunity knocks on our door, we should take advantage and use it as a kick start to maximise our potential. This should not only be a time when we develop our sporting talent, but to open sport up to all, to improve local facilities make it truly Your Sport, Your Life. Sport offers many things from personal fitness to easing health issues. Sport creates discipline and can be a valve to release tension in a controlled environment. It provides our youth with a purpose, a goal. Our teenagers are not all the ones portrayed in the media, but we need to provide activities for them so they don't fall into that trap. Sport can give bring communities together and pride into a area. It develops trust, comradeship and respect.
These showpiece events are fantastic, the majority of us will just be spectators, as our elite athletes produce their best efforts and with luck return triumphant. We must not , however, let these sporting spectaculars pass without investing more in the power of sport. We must protect the playing fields of our country, we must build more sport related structures, more funding for Youth Clubs and the services they provide. Talent in Art and Sport is in abundance in this country, most lies dormant undiscovered, but commitment and funding will help to identify those individuals, but more importantly will open doors for more people to be involved in activities of interest.
Sport works, it benefits, individuals, communities and nations. Let us not waste the opportunities that hosting prestige's events presents us.
