“I remember when I was a kid coming out and watching the elite athletes and now to be on the other side of that, it feels incredible.” - Michelle Jenneke
At the Perth Track Classic, the Rio Tinto Athletics for the Outback program brought young athletes closer to the sport, and to the athletes inspiring what could come next.
Designed to provide children in regional and remote communities with access to high-quality athletics coaching and experiences, the program builds the fundamentals of running, jumping and throwing while helping young athletes grow in confidence.
For Michelle Jenneke, meeting the next generation brings things full circle, from once being the young athlete watching from the sidelines to now being someone those kids can look up to.
This episode of Under the Surface captures the impact of creating opportunities for young athletes to learn, connect and experience the sport on a bigger stage.
