QAS hosted the inaugural Youth Game Changers Summit in partnership with UQ
The Queensland Academy of Sport in partnership with The University of Queensland hosted its first Youth Game Changers Summit, a collaboration between UQ’s Centre for Olympic and Paralympic Studies, Flinders Discovery Institute at Matthew Flinders Anglican College and the Queensland Academy of Sport.
42 high performance athletes from Matthew Flinders College and Wavell State High School brainstormed legacy-building projects to create an impact before, during and after Brisbane 2032.
Dr Hedda Giorgi, QAS high performance research lead, said it was important to showcase the career options that exist beyond the track and pool.
“It’s really beneficial for students to understand the work that goes into athletic performance, aside from their training and the work they do with their coaches,” Dr Giorgi said.
“We need to inspire future generations to move into areas surrounding sports research and consider the possible career pathways that are available to them.”
We are delighted to inspire future generations to move into areas supporting sports performance and consider and guide them on the possible career pathways that are available to them.
