Growing up, Olivia was always keen to be involved in sport, from dance to football and netball. She was always a student eager to showcase her talent and competitive spirit.. At the time, BADU were more than just P.E teachers that taught in school. They knew how to really get young people excited about sport and take part in it. Olivia was one of those students who took to this and built a relationship with her coaches through sport. Nana Badu was one of the first of the BADU team to teach Olivia, introducing her to Handball. It was a sport she had never played or even seen before, but Nana made it really exciting. One proud moment for both us and Olivia was being selected to represent Hackney in the London Youth Games for Handball. This team was full of young people who also interacted with BADU. Olivia went on to excelling as a netball player also during this time.
