Your Sport' is endorsed by celebrities and features initiatives that use sport for creating good, as well as, looking at a range of unusual sports.

In these two links, watch Boris Becker talk about his passion for midnight basketball —and how sport helps nurture the fundamentals of life — teamwork, discipline and focus, while Olympic badminton medallist Gail Emms chats about her inspiration.

Then, watch how “grassroot soccer” enhances lives in South Africa. There's also a piece on football creating awareness about landmines, and on Daley Thompson and a surfing project in Australia involving indigenous chidren. Other celebrities include Steve Waugh and Cathy Freeman.

... it's all about the power of sports.
