Sporting Minds – Bring on 2022!

The Foxwell State Secondary College Sporting Minds Excellence program has hit the ground running in 2022! In the initial weeks, Sporting Minds' Coaches have been conducting fitness testing and working with students to determine their sporting focus and accomplishment goals. Specifically, students have been digging deep to set their fitness benchmarks for strength and conditioning this term.

In 2022 we welcome new coaches to our Sporting Minds program, Reece Goudge and Samantha Holt.

Coach Holt enriches our Sporting Minds program with experience as an elite Netball athlete and excellence coach. Her main focus is developing the whole athlete through sport. Leadership, commitment, accountability, clear communication, empathy, humility, respect, health and wellbeing are the traits she is most looking forward to fostering in the program.

With a background in Exercise Physiology, Coach Goudge brings a wealth of experience and expertise to extend our Sporting Minds athletes specifically with Strength and Conditioning. Coach Gouge has a drive and passion for all sport with a specific focus on Football and Futsal as an excellence coach, manager and selector.

This week also saw the first session with our partnership with G.M.G Training with our Year 7 & 8 students with a specific focus on improving sport specific speed, explosive power, strength, endurance and agility. Coach Glen Gamlin brings 25 years experience in all facets of sports and recreation and has a passion for fitness and helping athletes to achieve their goals. This is a valuable partnership within our community and a rewarding attribute of our Sporting Minds program for our athletes.

A very exciting start to our Sporting Minds Program in 2022! Bring it on!
