FORMER WORLD CHAMPION RETURNS
Former BMX World Champion, Mike Mullen, returned to Sawyers Hall College on Wednesday 7th December 2011 to spend the day with the year 9 boys.
Mike led an inspirational workshop in the morning, where he revealed his six key points for success:
~ Mental Toughness
~ Hunger to Achieve
~ Breaking Barriers
~ People Skills
~ Sports/Life Knowledge
~ Planning for Success
After the workshop, the boys impressed Mike with their dodgeball skills and their ability to work as part of a team. Mike then demonstrated some BMX tricks and gave the students some tips on how to jump from a ramp. Once the boys had mastered the lower ramp, they progressed to a higher one, with many of them reaching impressive heights. For the finale, Mike positioned eight students on the floor and then jumped from the higher ramp, soaring through the air over the boys to land safely on the other side!
