  1. Sporting Pioneers for Change

  2. The importance of sporting pioneers (2) ‘If you're trying to achieve, there will be roadblocks. I've had them; everybody has had them. But obstacles don't have to stop you. If you run into a wall, don't turn around and give up. Figure out how to climb it, go through it, or work around it.’ Michael Jordan Image: Arthur Wharton, the world’s first black, professional footballer with the Princess Hassan Cup after breaking the World Record for the 100 Yard Sprint 1886
