INTRODUCTION
AUSTRALIAN SPORTING LEGENDS MENTORING TEACHERS AND
CHANGING THE FACE OF AUSTRALIAN COMMUNITIES
THE TRAILBLAZERS Teacher Talk Events is a unique teaching and learning resource that has teachers of
VET Certificate III in Sport Coaching mentored by legends of Australian sport, in how the lessons of sport can be
used in the holistic development and workplace readiness of their students.
Delivered by teachers for teachers, this resource consists of over 80 videos of interviews involving
teachers of VET Certificate III in Sport Coaching and legends and rising stars (Teacher Mentors) of Australian
sport discussing the nurturing and modelling of success traits in sport, and how they can be applied to life, work
and collaborations with others.
The goal of this unique professional development experience is to offer teachers an in-depth exploration of the
experiences, triumphs, and challenges faced by sports champions across generations. It aims to pinpoint
behaviours and modelling techniques that students can recognize, implement, and incorporate into their VET
learning and in their lives overall.
