Kids Aren’t Meant to Sit All Day—Here’s Why It Matters

Today’s special guest is someone who’s built his career on a simple but powerful idea: movement changes lives. On today’s show we are going to talk about why movement is particularly important for kids, not only for their physical and mental wellbeing, but also to help them learn.Nick spent a decade as a teacher before going on to found Chi Education, a multi-award-winning organisation dedicated to reimagining how children engage with learning, wellbeing, and physical activity. Now, as Director of Confident Healthy Active Me — or CHAM — he’s leading impactful work that uses movement not just for fitness, but as a tool for confidence, connection, and mental health support.Through programmes like Active Assemblies, Confidently Active, and inclusive sports courses, Nick and his team are helping children, families, and communities rediscover the joy and power of movement — whether that’s in schools, during holidays, or through outreach with those facing real adversity.What stands out about Nick’s work is that it goes far beyond traditional approaches. This is about building physical literacy as a foundation for resilience, self-esteem, and belonging — especially for those who are often left behind.In this conversation, we explore Nick’s journey from the classroom to leading a growing movement, the philosophy behind CHAM, and why embedding movement into everyday life might be one of the most important shifts we can make for future generations.If you’re interested in education, wellbeing, or the transformative power of human connection, this is a conversation you won’t want to miss.Let’s get into it. 🌐 www.chieducation.co.uk | www.confidentactive.com
