Focus: Think more, achieve more, be more

As spring comes we begin to feel the sun on our faces and the grasp of winter slowly falling away. It’s an exciting time for our young athletes, as those hard winter months of early morning and late night sessions in the cold are gone and the promise of warmer weather invigorates the soul. Not just for students but for teachers, coaches and parents too!

At the British International School Shanghai, we have a thriving sports program which caters for all levels — whether participation is your aim or you wish to become an elite athlete — our coaches and staff will be able to guide you on your sporting journey. The summer term provides many additional sporting opportunities, through our ECA and BISCAP Programs.

Our Under 11 FOBISIA teams will begin training to build up their skills to compete in this prestigious competition in Phuket in May.

Junior and lower secondary school-aged basketball teams will begin training for the Nord Anglia Global Games, which will also take place in May. Senior football and athletics teams will complete their training in preparation for the season finals.

It is also very encouraging to see the students and teachers maintaining their healthy lifestyle by attending fitness classes and setting personal goals for the summer months. This is one of the best ways to get you motivated and do some “spring cleaning” of the soul. The BISS PE teachers, along with some of our higher level athletes and our Olympic champion and high performance director, Marlon Devonish, have put some tips together. Firstly, it’s about getting excited and enjoying exercise — so try to.

• Establish a routine

It’s important to make time for a healthy lifestyle. So think carefully about your daily schedule and plan carefully.

• Get to the start line

Nothing will happen unless you make it happen. The only motivation you need in a fitness class, whether it is a BISS Lions training session or spinning at your local gym, is to show up.

• Enjoy the moment

Find something you enjoy, whether it’s walking your dog in the mornings with your parents or part of the eight hours a week of swim training, it’s really important to love what you do.

At BISS Puxi, our philosophy is “Be Ambitious” — think more, achieve more, be more.
