Community Education Program "Learning Life Through Sport"
2025-01-28 18:00 - 19:30 (Australia/Hobart) | Horton Auditorium, Penquite Campus, 85 Penquite Road, Launceston, Tasmania, 7250, Australia
Join guest speaker Rod Campbell, a former firefighter and sports coach of over 30 years’ experience, who has developed programs in Road Safety, Culture and AFL Football, based on behaviour and attitude changes.
Learning Life Through Sport is a program designed to challenge social norms and inspire young people and their communities to bring a new standard of behaviour and respect to sport and life. It identifies positive ways to alter the inherited and often unacceptable behaviour of coaches, players, parents and supporters in junior sports. These behaviours include umpire dissent and abuse (bullying), bad sportsmanship and a lack of respect for sporting codes and participants of sport.
Discussion points will include:

Culture enhancement and change
Positive game days
Teaching values through sport – sportsmanship, respect and trying your hardest
Fostering connection and goodwill
Improving resilience of young sports people

A part our Community Education Program.
Horton Auditorium, Performing Arts Centre, Penquite Campus
Everyone welcome – a free event open for the wider Launceston community
