Sport & Recreation Coordinator – South

Hi, I’m Jack!

Sport has always been a massive part of my life – especially footy. Whether I’m coaching it, watching it, talking about it or probably overthinking it, there’s usually some form of footy involved!

Coaching is a real passion of mine, but for me it’s about much more than wins and losses. I love creating an environment where people can enjoy themselves, build confidence, feel like they belong and hopefully become better people along the way.

Since 2022, I’ve been lucky enough to be involved with AFL inclusion teams. It’s something I really enjoy and has shown me just how powerful sport can be when everyone is given the opportunity to get involved, have a crack and be part of a team.

Away from footy, I love spending time with family and friends and attempting to play a respectable round of golf – with mixed results!

One of the things I enjoy most is creating opportunities for young people. Seeing someone grow in confidence, make new mates, try something new or achieve something they didn’t think they could is pretty hard to beat.

At the end of the day, I’m a big believer that sport should be fun, inclusive and somewhere everyone feels like they belong.
