Yesterday we had Dylan Schmidt NZ Olympic Ambassador come to visit our school. Dylan is the first New Zealand athlete to gain a medal in trampoline. He spoke to us about resilience, participation and what it took for him to get to the Olympics. Dylan told us that there were times when he performed terribly in competitions but he kept training and never gave up. He also handed out his Olympic medals for us to look closely at while he spoke. We were all inspired by his journey and wish him and all our New Zealand Olympic team, all the best in the Paris Olympics later this year.
Thank you to Miss Lavakula from Room 19 for these words
