WHAT PEOPLE SAY
High Ash C of E Primary School
"Yesterday was absolutely fantastic! Chris was superb with the children during the inspirational assembly. The children were super engaged throughout. The topics that Chris covered, such as nutrition fitted really well with our current curriculum topics and his discussion about learning from failure is such an important message for the children."
St Thomas Boston C of E Primary School
"What a day! It's not every day you get to meet and work with a professional basketball player. The children loved meeting Chris and for him to lead the school in a fitness circuit. The children were so inspired by his assembly!"
Escola Secundária Eça de Queirós (Portugal)
"Last week, Christopher Tawiah was at Escola Secundária Eça de Queirós to present his Elevate project. This is a motivational project based on the athlete's professional experience. As the name of the project indicates, the athlete intends to show that with the right focus it is possible to raise our potential, recognizing our strengths and weaknesses and working on them in order to reach our highest point. A job that, in Chris's case, is aimed at competition, but that applies to any area of our life, whether professional or personal.
We are proud to have Chris among us, helping young people to realize that the path of competition is also a mental game and that the results are reflected in the way of being and to live.
It was a very enriching experience for the students, who easily realized that in studies, as in competition, focus on goals is essential."
