Diver Tom Daley has been offered life coaching by British Swimming, the governing body for diving, after being taken out of school. Daley, aged 14, completed the Beijing Olympics in 7th place last year and whilst he has many fans outside of school, those in school have been causing him trouble and bullying him by threatening to break his legs.
Whilst life coaching won’t stop the boys at school from their taunts, it can help those that have been bullied re-build their confidence, understand the situation better and deal with future incidents in a more positive way. Although Daley has been very successful in his career so far, it doesn’t mean that he isn’t affected by the bullying. Being bullied is a highly unpleasant experience and extremely upsetting for anyone, whoever they are. Daley, who is taking 9 GCSE’s, is having his education affected by others at school, most likely jealous of his success. Whatever their reasons, it leaves Daley in an awkward situation and one that could easily damage his future prospects.
If you know of anyone being bullied who would like some help dealing with the situation and rebuilding their confidence, then please get in touch with AlterEgo. We specialise in coaching young people and especially teenagers in issues just like these. Alternatively, please visit Beat Bullying for some helpful advice and tips.
