Candidate for the position of Vice President Sports and Health
Let's get physical!
Hey, I’m Kate
I’m currently in my fourth year, studying Business and Management.
What is my sporting background? I have been passionate about sport all of my life, getting involved with a whole range of sports at all different levels, from social sport through to competing at nationals - I’ve been through it all! I’ve also represented UWE at BUCS in Athletics and Rowing.
Why am I running for VP Sports and Health? I have absolutely loved my time at UWE and now I want to be on the team that continues to make UWE even better. With the goal of creating a better sport community at UWE and healthier, happier students. One Team, One Dream.
What I want to achieve representing you:
How we can do this:
Affordable sport for all
Sport is a way to increase inclusivity, have fun and make new friends. I’d like to introduce a sports fair so we can try out new things before joining and expand the Off The Wall programme. Also, start up more social mixed inter sport/societies tournaments to raise money for charity. Sport needs to be affordable to increase participation. Money will be allocated efficiently to improve sports and health facilities and I will seek out new sponsors.
All-inclusive. More opportunities. Available to all.
Improve our sport rankings
Let’s raise our sporting profile. By building on what we are good at, focusing on coaching and monitoring performance. Making Varsity even bigger and better, embracing rivalry. Using social media to promote events, celebrate success and encourage utilisation of facilities. We can do more to make the best of what we have, building towards making UWE a University of Choice for sport. Continuing a strong relationship with the Centre for Sport and the SU is key for this ambition.
Promoting healthier lifestyles
By generating the enthusiasm to encourage more physical activity – it’s a proven fact that sport helps students cope better with stress! One of my ideas is to get us using our mobile apps and fitness devices to make incremental improvements in whatever we choose to do. Looking after our wellbeing by encouraging students to unwind. I will also campaign for healthier food options on campus.
WE ARE ONE UNIVERSITY, ONE SPORT COMMUNITY.
Vote Kate for VP Sports & Health!
