Youth Sports Trust chief executive is either a liar or a moron: shock

From The Evening Standard:

Pupils who do not get involved in sport will "hit a ceiling" academically, the head of the Youth Sport Trust warned today.

Chief executive John Steele said physical activity was essential to improving grades, and warned that schools that did not promote sport or PE would not be able to maximise their exam results.

He said: "If we don’t develop the body, the mind will hit a ceiling. Sport should not be seen as an extra. It is a part of a child’s education and if we fail to provide that we are setting up problems for future years."

The Youth Sport Trust is just another fake charity, of course.
