Coming off the previous evening’s exceptional Induction & Awards Gala Dinner, Sport Australia Hall of Fame, delivered the second Chairs’ Round Table for Sport on Friday, October 11 at Crown Melbourne. Presented by Sportscover in partnership with the Australian Institute of Sport, the event was once again co-chaired by Sport Australia Hall of Fame Chair John Bertrand AO and Sport Australia Chair John Wylie AM.
Our aim was to continue to bring together Australian sports’ most influential leaders to discuss and debate relevant, cutting-edge topics and issues to benefit Australian sport.
The large contingent of National Sporting Organisations and National Peak Bodies were captivated by our keynote Gold Medal Ready Program Manager Rosie Stanimirovic PhD. With our panelists discusing mindset to execution.
Our panel was outstanding and comprised of:
• Kim Brennan AM – AIS Gold Medal Ready Alumni
• Kurt Fearnley AO – Sport Australia Commissioner
• Steve Hooker OAM – AIS Gold Medal Ready Alumni
• Jemma King PhD – Specialist Consultant at Department of Defence, AIS & Swimming Australia
• Matt Cardinaels, CSM – Human Performance Lead 2 Commando Regiment.
A highly valuable few hours discussing high performance sport and how we as a sector can collabortively to continue to achieve outstanding results whilst competing against far larger and better resourced nations… This struck a good balance between providing relevant, engaging content along with the ability to network which is always so valuable.
