Further information about 'Learning Life Through Sport'
Learning Life through Sport inspires emotional connection, the key to culture enhancement and change, by creating safe and inclusive environments in sport, where everyone gets the opportunity to flourish.
Learning Life through Sport has been developed by 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 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.
“What other area in society would two adults deem it acceptable to roar abuse at a 14-year-old” (TEEN UMP ABUSE MUST STOP - Jack Anderson, Herald Sun July 31, 2022). The standard you walk past is the standard you accept and the time for change is now.
When Learning Life through Sport is adopted by teams or a whole competition it will show that rapid, impactful, behavioural and cultural enhancement /change is possible. Rod will show case-studies where he has been involved in programs that have achieved this change, where lives have potentially been saved.
Paul Hamilton (AFL National Talent Development and Competitions Manager) commented “I haven’t seen a program as positive and impactful as the Learning Life through Sport system”. East Launceston Junior Football Club (Tasmania) Vice President and coach Nic d’Emden said “Once you have seen Learning Life through Sport you can’t unsee it, once you have coached it you can’t un-coach it”
