Western Bulldogs Leadership Project diary: A day at Whitten Oval

Leadership Project participants come together.

Students from the Western Bulldogs Community Foundation Leadership Project recently spent an entire day at Victoria University Whitten Oval.

For the first half of the day, students had the opportunity to speak to professionals from different industries.

This was a fantastic opportunity for students, as we were able to talk to people from an industry of our interest, increasing our knowledge of an occupation of our choice.

It is always good to hear about the diverse pathways that people have experienced to get where they are.

After we spoke to four different people about their occupation, our community issue, our project idea for our community issue and our plans for our future, we entered the Bulldogs museum.

While we were in the museum we had the chance to continue conversations and begin new conversations with different people who we may not have spoken to before lunch.

For the second half of the day, students from the Leadership Project assisted Western Bulldogs players in running the Dahlhaus Clubhouse clinic.

We ran kids through some drills and games before players came out to assist us. Personally, I was extremely thankful that the players came out on time.
