I had the privilege of sitting down with David Cournane, Head of Physical Education and Health at Wellington College to discuss the current climate of school sport. We pondered the value of sport within this system and touch on some of the challenges we face - such as early identification and specialisation, and the focus on winning versus development. David also touches on his involvement within a Sport NZ pilot project which looks at some of the themes mentioned above. As mentioned at the start of the podcast, Dale Sidebottom and I are hosting two workshops towards the end of August in Hamilton and Christchurch. Click through the links for more information.
