ATHLETICS: Gold medalist Steve Frew inspires local youngsters
Commonwealth gold medal-winning gymnast Steve Frew has been inspiring Midlothian youngsters to reach their sporting potential.
Frew (36), visited Newbattle High School to mentor a group of athletic pupils and lead a programme of activities, including a classroom session discussing stories and experiences with him referring to his own inspiring struggle through sport.
He also led an hour session of physical activities where the pupils enjoyed some friendly competition.
