The aim of the day was to show pupils how languages are valued globally in the sporting industry, specifically in the football industry.  The assembly covered Steve's personal journey with languages in his sporting career and gave pupils an insight into the range of career options available to them in the sporting industry where language skills are hugely valuable.  Steve then delivered exciting, innovate activities that enthused our students within the classroom before leading a football coaching session and football match lead in the Spanish language.
