Full Circle, 2016 The ‘obsession with men’s sport’ was also seen as a problem. “Because of Wales’ sporting success, there is a massive emphasis on male success in sports. “This mentality is flushed into us from an early age. Even in secondary school, only boys were ‘allowed’ to play certain sports, including rugby” (Giant, 2016)

“Success”
Walt Disney. - He was fired by a newspaper editor because he said he lacked
imagination and had no good ideas.
After that, he started a number of businesses that didn't last too long and ended with
bankruptcy and failure. However, he kept plugging along and eventually found a recipe
for success that worked.
Soichiro Honda. - He began with a series of failures like many others. In 1922, he was
turned down by Toyota for a job position as an engineer.
He was left jobless for quite some time. In this time, he started making scooters from
his home and, after 6 years, finally started his own business. Consequently, Honda has
been the world's largest motorcycle manufacturer since 1959!
Stephen Spielburg. - While today his name is synonymous with big budget films he
was rejected from the University of Southern California School of Theatre, Film and
Television three times! He eventually attended school at another location, only to drop
out to become a director before finishing. Thirty-five years after starting his degree, He
returned to school in 2002 to finally complete his work and earn his BA degree.
Lionel Messi - He has been named the finest football player in the world today, but
his road to this title was not so easy. At the age of 11 he was diagnosed with growth
hormone deficiency. This meant that he did not grow tall enough to play football
professionally and no club was willing to pay the $900 a month for his treatment.
Despite all of these obstacles, he kept trying! Finally, one of the best clubs in the world,
Barcelona FC, saw his talent, gave him a trial and offered to pay for his medical bills if he
was willing to move to Spain.

Read the success stories above and take a moment to think about what you need to do to
succeed.Challenges
• Curriculum
Academic demands of other subjects
Vulnerable students often excluded or in isolation
Time – a missed lesson, half term etc. can affect learning progression and
relationships
• Isolation of SRE staff
Other members of staff can unwittingly undermine the messages promoted in PSE
and SRE – values and experiences brought into the classroom; PSE and SRE viewed as
opinion• Resources
Official resources, approved speakers can perpetuate victim blaming
and rape culture
Content doesn’t match young people’s contexts
• Social Media/Fake News/Social experiments
Challenge of supporting young people to appraise/evaluate online
experts
• Wider School Culture
Emphasis on male sport, predominance of PE staff in pastoral
roles, input from football, rugby organisations and personnel
reinforces polarised messages relating to gender; ‘locker room
banter’, uniform school rules, victim blaming reinforced in
behavioural interventions, lack of pastoral trainingSouth Wales Police – Risky Pics
