We asked Shannon to say a few words on what it means to represent the KidSport program, and why providing the opportunity to all kids to participate is so important:<\/p>\n
\u201cJoining team KidSport is important to me because it gives me a way to encourage and mentor future young athletes, I can teach the importance of sport and what it meant to me in my life. Sport has opened many doors for me both personally and professionally. I have learnt many life skills that I will carry with me for the rest of my life and it has also taught me a healthy way of living which I can promote to the next generation.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":552,"template":"","meta":[],"categories":[16],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"\n
