Manage episode 329339272 series 3278805
Have you ever thought about how sport can help build character and teach you resilience? Well today I'm chatting to Matt Rizzo about the lessons being involved in athletics has taught him. In this chat you’ll hear how Matt got involved in athletics and how at 18 years old he became the winner of one of Australia’s most famous running races, the 2017 Stawell Gift.
Coming from the same high school, being influenced by some of the same teachers, just a few years apart. It was incredible being able to reflect with Matt on some of the pivotal moments in his sporting journey. A notable shout out goes to one of our teachers Nige Knighton who made a huge impact on both our sporting journeys, there’s actually two episodes with Nige back in season two if you’d like to hear some of his wisdom, but for now… lets jump into the chat with Matt.
