Woodbury School recently welcomed author and sports journalist Dan Freedman, best known for the ‘Jamie Johnson’ book series that inspired the popular CBBC television show. Dan delivered an engaging and inspiring workshop for all pupils, drawing on his experiences from the world of football and journalism.
Students were captivated as Dan shared stories from his career, including interviews with football legends such as Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo at the World Cup. His tales of travelling the globe and speaking with some of the sport’s greatest players sparked genuine excitement and curiosity among the pupils.
Dan spoke passionately about the power of storytelling and the opportunities it has brought him, encouraging pupils to think about how their own interests, whether in sport, writing or beyond, could take them in unexpected and exciting directions.
The session left a lasting impression, inspiring pupils to dream big and explore their passions. A huge thank you to Dan for a memorable and motivational visit!
