'Sports Leader of the Year' nomination
'Sports Leader of the Year' nomination for Budehaven student
Released: 26th January 2009 at 13:00 PM
Jordan is a year 13 student from Budehaven Community School, in Bude, Cornwall. He has followed the Step into Sport Programme, achieving the SLA, the CSLA and is now studying the HSL award. He has always shown a passion for volunteering and leadership, supporting many youngsters both in the school and wider community.
Following his title win of the Young Leader of the Year at the recent Cornwall Sports Awards, Jordan White has recently been presented with yet another award! He is the first sports leader from Cornwall to be nominated ‘Sports Leader of the Year' as part of the new leadership recognition scheme.
Jordan has had a very exciting year! He was one of only 8 Young Sports Leaders from across Cornwall to be selected to go to the Paralympic World Cup Games in Manchester where he was attached to Sweden Mens' wheelchair basketball team. He was also selected to represent Cornwall at the FA Young Leadership camp in Nottingham in June, where he spent the week with other selected leaders from across the country developing their leadership skills in Football. These opportunities are a result of demonstrating his commitment, enthusiasm and motivation to volunteering and leadership at a local level within his local community. These fantastic experiences have given Jordan lots of new ideas and confidence as a leader.
Jordan is a key part of the development of a girls' football section of Bude Town Youth Football Club. He coaches girls aged 8-15yrs every week and also manages the Girls U15 team in the East Cornwall League. He is really popular with the girls and is gaining some valuable experience by taking on the responsibility as manager.
As well as volunteering as a coach and official, Jordan is also a very good player and his own football team won ‘Team of the Year' at the recent North Cornwall sports Award Evening.
He is a dedicated young volunteer and the school is glad he has been recognised for his commitment.
