DD is 15 and in Y11. She’s a smart kid predicted mostly 7-9, 6 for history. She’s very sporty, she does about 10 hours of tennis a week and 4 hours athletics (100m/200m and long jump when the club asks her to).
She’s really struggling to figure out what A-levels to do or what to study at uni after that. Obviously we will try and keep her options open as much as possible. Her best subjects are Maths, PE and French, science is up there too as is English. History is her worst enemy.
She’s considered sports science or physio therapy but isn’t sold.
She’s also considered something finance based.
She doesn’t want to be a coach or at least not right now, maybe a side job but she isn’t in love with the idea.

So what are your ex sporty kids doing now? Any ideas DD could consider as she’s really struggling.

My sporty, and sports mad DC is in Year 13 and off to do Sports Management next year. They got 99999998876 at GCSE and they are doing A levels in Geography, Chemistry and Psychology. They literally picked subjects they enjoyed and wanted to keep a broad base. They have an offer from Loughborough but if they do not meet it they fortunately have Portsmouth with an unconditional offer.
They have football as their main sport and hope they may just scrape into the fourth team as they are well aware of the standards, if not they are hoping to be involved at a more recreational level or through coaching and to try some new sports too.
