Sue Campbell

Description

Sue Campbell has been given the task of completely reinvigorating British sport. She played a vital role in securing the 2012 Olympics for London specifically through promoting the benefits to young people and education. In a fascinating conversation, Sue explains just how important sport is to our school children. Talking about her own childhood, she says she believes that if it weren't for her PE teachers, she would have gone off the rails. She has devoted much time researching the impact of sport on a person's psychology, and has worked tirelessly to promote sport in schools. Estelle and Sue discuss schools specialising in sports and their impact on results. As a former coach and world class athlete, Sue is now at a different stage of her career, influencing policy. On top of all this, she's responsible for making the changes necessary to make British sport more successful. She is dedicated to achieving excellence for the Olympic Games, both in 2008 and 2012.
