Feeling inspired by the Commonwealth Games opening ceremony last night, it struck me just how important a role sport plays in all of our lives.

In my last post as editor on Outside & Active, I wanted to share something that I wrote last night after watching the opening ceremony of the Commonwealth Games. I hope that what we have created, what we have shared – the conversations, the podcasts, the articles, the videos have in some way helped inspire you to being more Outside & Active. Enjoy the read. 

Until next time, enjoy the outside. Matt 

Sport For Change

Moved by the stories, the countries and the people. Moved by the music, the abilities, the performance It hit me Sport brings people together. Doesn’t matter if you watch it You play it You volunteer it Doesn’t matter your colour Your creed Or your orientation Doesn’t matter if you have wheels Overcome anxieties Or walk on your own two feet Sport has the opportunity to heal wounds To unite under a common goal Sport has the opportunity to do good It offers the chance for change Sport can help us love can make us laugh can make us cry Sport inspires us to overcome adversity To pursue dreams And make positive impacts on communities around the world Sport reminds us of what is possible Sport is The chance for change
