This young man takes everything in his stride. He is a member of the Next Stars Sports Academy, Cannonvale Crocodiles, Brahmans, the Whitsunday Raiders and also participates in athletics.
For Jack, sport has always been a part of his life, starting with the Airlie Beach Parkrun when he was four years old, and from 2021, he began to play in a range sporting teams.
“I started doing the five-km parkrun with my parents when I was four years old,” Jack explained.
“At first, we walked it, then started jogging down the hills and in time I built up to running the whole way. I started playing the team sports in 2021.”
“For the last two years, I was selected in the North Queensland schools’ teams for cross country and athletics. And last year I also made North Queensland for AFL. I had the honour of being named Cannonvale State School’s Sportsperson of the Year in 2023.”
At Next Stars Sports Academy, Jack is able to access incredible opportunities, that promote and develop his dreams of becoming a professional footy player, including instilling positive sportsmanship, cultivating appreciation for creative movement, learning the health implications of what and why they do what they do, and being inspired to follow their dreams.
