\u201cIn adversity, young people usually have the answers,\u201d says Stuart Worden. \u201cThey\u2019re amazing, they\u2019re extraordinary – if the conditions for their creativity are there for them.\u201d<\/h4>\n
\n

Worden is the Principal of the world-renowned BRIT School, a creative arts and technology school based in south London. Its alumni include artists Amy Winehouse, Adele and Hollywood actor Tom Holland.<\/p>\n

Unsurprisingly, the school has been a continuing source of inspiration across high performance sport, with teams and organisations looking to tap into their wisdom around the creation of learning environments and nurturing creativity.<\/p>\n

Worden himself appeared onstage at the 2015 Leaders Sport Performance Summit in London and was the ideal first guest in the Leaders State of Play Series.<\/p>\n

Speaking to co-hosts Matthew Stone and Michael Caulfield, Worden also offered his musings on:<\/p>\n

– Kindness and why it brings both a sense of adventure and courage help to develop young people [7:00];<\/p>\n

– Why the most striking characteristic of young learners is their fragility [14:00];<\/p>\n

– The mistakes that can be made in judging talented young people [27:00];<\/p>\n

– Encouraging young people to take risks and not be afraid to fail [33:00].<\/p>\n
