1. Voice over script
We are all lucky to have an education; it is a big part of what shapes our teenage
years that affects us for the rest of our lives; providing a gateway to our future
career. Surely it would be considered to be the most important aspect of our
childhood, however does it take control and leave us with nothing else?
Sport can also be considered by some to be an extremely important factor in our
teenage years, providing an escape from school work and easing the stress of
exams; not forgetting the physical benefits it also provides.
Boxing is a popular sport within deprived areas; some boxers go to the extreme
of neglecting their school work and homework to concentrate entirely on their
training…
EXPERT INTERVIEW ONE – THOMAS CHANEY
Expert Thomas Chaney expands on this.
Physical activity in teenage years can improve health in adulthood, also
improving cognitive skills and academic behavior. An official survey by the BBC
states that doctors found that 17% of boys and 16% of girls between 12 and 15
are classed as over weight or obsesse. Also stated is that three quarters of
teenagers are not getting the recommended 60 minutes of daily exercise,
suggesting that no where near enough sport is being performed. Could school be
the cause? (21 seconds)

2. TALK ABOUT THE SUMMARY ON BLOGGER, IMPLY WHAT IT MEANS
These stats show a clear opinion from teenagers and their own experiences with
sport. It seems that the vast majority of teens do enjoy sport, feeling that it has
positive effects on them. However, the survey shows that sport within school is
not enjoyable – possibly due to pressure from teachers to perform well and
complete homework.
After the break we take a tour of Hall Green Boxing club to see the facilities that
are available to teenagers.
