00:00Three, two, go, no!
00:04As you know, I love sport, particularly football.
00:06In fact, football's my life.
00:08I go to bed dreaming about it.
00:10And this summer is extra special,
00:13because it is a summer of sport.
00:15And just like you, I'm going to be glued to my TV.
00:17But I'll also be getting out of my comfort zone and staying active.
00:20And that's why I've teamed up with Babybel
00:22to take on four elite professionals in sport.
00:25It's going to be easy.
00:28Come on.
00:30SPORT
00:33I think I've turned our household into a sporty household.
00:36When I met my wife, Michelle, she said she wasn't sporty at all.
00:38Listen, if you marry me, you've got to be prepared to get involved in sport.
00:42Nice to see you, big man. You good?
00:43You too, yeah, I'm good.
00:44What have you got me here doing now?
00:45I'll start you off as beginner level.
00:47So as a youngster, we don't go straight to the main pommel.
00:50We start on here, which we call it like a mushroom.
00:51Put your feet in, lift your hips up.
00:53Your legs come around, your hand lifts up.
00:55You've got to keep that core tight, like that.
00:57Good.
01:00What can we do that you think I can get to a little bit quicker?
01:02Are you up for trying a somersault?
01:04Give it a go.
01:05So this is the next step.
01:05I'm going to hold it, and then what I'll do is tip,
01:07and what you'll do is do the second part of the roll into the pit.
01:11Don't feel good, Maxi. I'm scared.
01:12Go! No!
01:13No!
01:14Get this out of it, Maxi.
01:16There we are.
01:17What would you say to encourage people to just give a sport a go?
01:21If you don't try something, you'll never, ever know.
01:23I love what I do,
01:24but if I didn't actually take that leap to start a sport in the first place,
01:28who knows where I'd be today?
01:31When you're doing anything active, you need to keep your energy up.
01:33I'm having a little break, so you, clear off.
01:36Yes, ladies. Finally, a sport I'm good at.
01:39Today, we're going to put you through the paces of going in golf.
01:41Who's got gloves?
01:44Woo!
01:47Oh, I won't see!
01:48What would you say to those girls that want to do it,
01:50but they feel like they're going to be judged?
01:52One of the best things about playing this sport, and in all sports,
01:55you just need to be the most amazing people.
01:57Just get out there, you know, do it, get a couple of your mates.
01:59You've gone on to be heroes.
02:01Thaddea, how are you doing?
02:02Nice to meet you, Mark. My name is Thaddea Locke.
02:04I am the British number one female pickable player,
02:06and I'm really excited to introduce you to the game today.
02:18And that's why you are number one.
02:20Now we're going to have a go at playing some doubles.
02:22James, who's one of the top deaf pickable players in the UK...
02:25What?
02:26What?
02:27What's the score?
02:28OK, let the goodness begin.
02:33You!
02:34Me?
02:35What's the score?
02:36Zero.
02:37Six.
02:38One.
02:39I thoroughly enjoyed today's challenge, thanks to Babybel.
02:42I mean, it didn't go quite as planned, because I failed on the horse,
02:44I got smashed at Pickleball, I got beat convincingly by two lionesses,
02:48but at least I tried, and that's what I want you to do.
02:50On that note, where is Millie and Tony?
02:52I want a rematch.
02:56I want a rematch.
