Olympic values: what do they mean?
Pursuit of excellence
Balance between body,
will and mind
Trying for excellence helps young
people:
• make positive and healthy
choices;
• work for the very best they can be
and do.
Learning takes place in the body as
well as the mind, and helps develop
our sense of right and wrong.
