Inspirational day with Olympian Ben Fletcher

Weds 9th November proved to be one the most inspirational and educational days of my Judo career.  Ben Fletcher, Britains No.1 in the -100kg and ranked at World's 28th, spent a day with Macs School of Judo.  

It started with a Whirlwind tour of three Primary Schools (Thurlbear, Minehead & Cotford St Luke) and one college (Somerset & Bridgwater College).  Ben attended assemblies at the primary schools and showed a fun and interactive presentation, culminating in allowing the students to throw him (including a headteacher!) to great delight and cheers from the pupils!

The day finished with Ben giving a masterclass to students of Wellington School, which in itself was educational and fun for the students.  I can honestly say that everyone that met Ben was impressed on how grounded he was and inspired by his story.

From 'Macs School of Judo' and on behalf of our students we would like to say a huge 'thank you' to Ben and we will be cheering you on in all your up and coming competitions.

Look forward to working with you again soon and good luck in the upcoming British Championships in December.
