As part of the MindCraft programme, we try to introduce our students to as many ways as possible to manage their stresses, worries and anxieties. As with anyone who has played sport, you’ll know the amazing feeling you get after you’ve finished. So with this is in mind, we asked professional boxer Stacey Copeland to come in to speak to our all-girl group at MindCraft and deliver a boxing session with them. Stacey’s story is truly a fascinating one. From an early age, her two loves in life were boxing and football. But as both sports were illegal for females to She went on to play professionally in and Stacey finished off the session by do when she was growing up, she did America, Brazil, Sweden and here in doing some basic punch combinations what a lot of girls her age did, she England where she appeared in an FA on the pads with the students. shaved her hair off and joined the local Cup final. One of her proudest Libby, 14, had this to say about Stacey boys football team. She openly talked moments was standing on the half way to the students about her struggles coming in. “Stacey was ace! She really at Wembley singing the National made me think about how I feel about with this and all the name-calling that Anthem. went with it.

I really enjoyed the belief that she was going to be for females to compete in and coming boxing session at the end and it has successful at what she loved. from a long lineage of boxers, she made me want to sign up to my local And she was. wanted to carry on the family tradition boxing gym” and become a pro boxer herself. Stacey talked about her self-doubt before a fight but then extreme confidence once she actually gets in the ring. She went on to be British champion, the same belt her father had won, and the first ever female Commonwealth Champion. Even this amazing achievement was tinged with her fight for female equality as she was not even awarded a belt because the boxing authorities didn’t feel it was worth buying one. She turned that disappointment into something positive and made sure that there is now a belt for the next person so they don’t have to go through those negative emotions when the occasion should only be a positive one. The session was extremely insightful
