As an Adistar ambassador, Braidhurst High pupil Connor Gray\u2019s goal was to promote and live out the Olympic and Paralympic values as an inspirational figure for other young people as well as adults.\u00a0 The values were determination, equality, inspiration, excellence, courage, respect and friendship.\u00a0 Promoting these values allowed him to use them in his own performance and participation in sport.\u00a0 In school Connor helped organise a rugby club for S1-3 which will begin this term, which will hopefully catch the eye of the lower school and grow as the year goes on.\u00a0 There are a range of sports which Connor had to promote such as Badminton, Basketball, Volleyball, Trampolining, Fitness, Rugby, Football, Hockey, Boxing including every Olympic sport.<\/p>\n
As an ambassador Connor was also involved in the Olympic torch relay.\u00a0 He helped primary school spectators to have the best view as the torch went past.\u00a0 It was a great day and an event he will remember for the rest fo his life.\u00a0 Another Olympic events Connor attended were the France vs USA and Columbia vs North Korea women\u2019s football matches at Hampden.\u00a0 Being a part of the Olympics and having influenced young people to get involved has given Connor great experience and has been a wonderful opportunity for him.\u00a0 Connor is honoured to have had this opportunity to get involved with sports and he hopes to get even more people participating and taking an interest in sport as the Commonwealth Games 2014 in Glasgow draws near.\u00a0 He also hopes to become more involved with sports activities within schools and in the local communities.<\/p>\n
