🎥Throwback Tuesday🎥
Guardian Ballers UK x John Bernard x West Midlands Police and Crime Commissioner
A year ago, we shared the IN- Control project film, a movement to help young boys take control of their emotions, behaviour, and future.

Funded by the Helping Communities Fund via West Midlands Police , Guardian Ballers UK and John Bernard worked with Year 4–6 boys from three Coventry primary schools — using basketball, identity education, and spoken word to explore:
✌️ Emotional regulation 🤛 Responding to aggression 👣 Building positive futures

This short film captures their journey. Their growth. Their voice.

Studying Journalism at , I wanted to get some hands-on experience to add a real value to my degree. I've always been a creative person with some experience in communications and videography but I never imagined I would get a high Marketing role so young.

I'm so grateful I took this opportunity, it was worth the risk. The best experience of my career so far. 🌟
