Spotlighting our Coaches

Without our Coach and Manager volunteers we wouldn't be able to play sport at school level. We want to acknowledge all our Coaches/Managers and say THANK YOU for all you do.

Today we want to spotlight student Coaches Nadine Rao and Sophie Hong. Both these girls have helped coach volleyball this year and have assisted with Primary basketball teams. We love your generous heart ladies, always ready to help out when asked and willing to learn new skills to help others. Thank you.

Using Sport as a Vehicle to Teach Life Lessons

FQ Is More Important Than IQ

This is one of the most important lessons learned from sports. It has been said that “Your FQ is more important than your IQ.” Your FQ is your Failure Quotient. How often can you fail at something and have the resiliency to get right back up?

The president of the NBA’s Miami Heat, wrote, “Success is getting up one more time than you’ve been knocked down.” If there is one constant in the athletic world, it is that athletes will meet failure.
