When: Tuesday 24 March
Where: NPBHS Hostel Dining Room (Sir Graeme Douglas Dining Room)
Time: Doors open 6.30pm | Presentation 6.45pm–8.30pm
Tickets are limited: $30 per person or $25 per person for a parent and athlete combo (via Eventfinda).
Join youth sport specialist Dr Craig Harrison for an informative evening offering practical advice and research-based insights to help parents and coaches support young athletes to thrive, stay motivated, and enjoy sport in a high-pressure environment.
As youth sport becomes increasingly competitive, many young athletes face burnout, pressure, and injury. This session provides clear, evidence-based strategies to help create positive sporting environments that build confidence, resilience, and a lifelong enjoyment of sport.
A Q&A session will follow the presentation.
We encourage parents, coaches, and supporters to attend and be part of the conversation about helping young athletes thrive.
