well said @lauraMcAllister and @tanni_GT about the right balance of sport, PE physical literacy, competition in school sport. I never understand how any sensible debate is always shut down with an accusation of being PC in this area. We need to allow kids to enjoy PE and physical activity first (and for some always) before putting lots off for the rest of their lives with a drive to be competitive. Those of us who love competiion thrive but it leaves millions put off for life.
There is a simple formula that applies to most areas of life – we like things we can do and feel confident doing. For the brave among us this might not be the case, but many of us shudder at the thought of going outside of our comfort zones, and exposing our weaknesses.
