My name is Warren, and I am currently studying sport development here at Central.
We get placed into different development centres at the moment. There is basketball, there is soccer, there is AFL football. I am currently in the basketball development and sport.
And we learn more about coaching basketball specifically and more about the industry and as such, in oppose to mixing in those other sports, so just specifically centers on that one sport, and I enjoy that.
There are so many various options we could go into, you could look into coaching professionally if you want to go into that, we do a sport trainer course if you look at becoming a trainer or physio later on
We do a little sport psych thing, so you can look at going to uni and doing sport science or sport psychology or you could look at the management side getting into media or event management or something like that.
Get there nice and early, get a bit of extra study if you can, then lecture stars about 9:30 or 10 o'clock, so nice, easy morning for you.
You go through a couple of hours with a few breaks there If needed through lectures. Most days we'll end up to have overdoing sport related activity like coaching or just playing a game, so it's quite an easy course when you look at in the context.
I've been very close to some of my lecturers, and they've been more than helpful in getting me some contacts through the Department of Sport and Recreation, Hockey WA, Cycling WA, Swimming WA.
I've talked to people all through those industries, and they've come from my lecturers that give me the contacts and advice.
So far we've done things in media, which were great. We've got to interview an athlete, which really opened their eyes in a few ways, we got a sit down with them in front of a right and camera, which was a new thing for most if us, it was great fun.
Also event management, we've had to plan different events and go through out the city and figure out how those events would work, go through finances and stuff.
Figuring out how to run things at more management level has been great fro us.
We had an opportunity to interview an athlete, as part of our media training. So I got to interview Clay Gabriel, who is the number 5 ranked boxer in the world.
And that was a good opportunity for us to meet the leader athletes and get to know a little bit more about them and their experiences.
