Perspective Video Workshop
Perspective Video Workshop Learning Intentions: Young people will watch and observe elite athletes share personal experiences in both a sporting and non- sporting context. The facilitator will seek to highlight discussion points for participants so that they can reflect and recognise how these principles are applicable in everyday life. The goal is for the participants to understand, reflect and implement the relevant behaviours from the discussion in their school, sports team, work and wider community. Video topic focus Perspective Video Facilitation Workshop Goals To understand and foster healthy discussions based on the video content. To encourage change if needed in the participants and provide strategies to do this. Format • Play video • Discussion • Key messages summary • Strategies • Action plan challenge • Closing quote Play video Play the entire Perspective video (3.26 mins duration) Jerome Kaino Optional: Replay the Jerome Kaino section of the video (00:11–00:40 mins) (00:11–00:40 mins) Point 1: I learned the hard way. Coming through the grades for me it was all about rugby. Nothing else mattered but as I went through the years I realised that it is really important to have interests outside of rugby and focus outside of the game. Point 1 discussion question: Why do you think the player realised, as he got older, that it was really important to have interests outside of rugby? Facilitator notes Point 1: Having other interests gives you balance, so if anything happens in your rugby, like a serious injury, you don’t lose your whole world as you have other things to concentrate on. -

Blacks Dismiss Wallabies Tandem Tearaway
SPORTS SATURDAY, AUGUST 8, 2015 Boks face massive Test against Pumas — Meyer JOHANNESBURG: A Rugby Championship campaign that has gone pear-shaped for South Africa means great significance is being attached to the final-round clash with Argentina in Durban today. “This will be a massive Test for us,” admitted Springboks coach Heyneke Meyer as he looked ahead to a showdown that will decide who finishes bottom of the standings. Australia and title-holders New Zealand have nine points each ahead of a Sydney title decider early today, South Africa a paltry two from losing bonus points and Argentina none. The 2015 Springboks have become the team that cannot put a game to bed, conceding late tries in Brisbane and Johannesburg to fail against the Wallabies and All Blacks. “We will never accept that we lost our last two Tests,” stresses 47-year-old Meyer, who has won 26 Tests, lost 11 and drawn two since taking charge of the green and gold three seasons ago. “On both occasions we were in positions to win and let them slip.” Peter de Villiers, who was succeeded as South Africa coach by Meyer, blames overweight Springboks for the fade-outs. “We need to address the fighting-fit weight of the players so that they can last for 80 minutes,” he says. “The players are carry- ing excess unnatural weight which is why we cannot maintain intensity for full matches. “I believe we bulk up our Springboks instead of making them match-fit.” Although the Springboks have been much more impressive than fellow strugglers the Pumas in the first two Championship rounds, Meyer is wary of the Argentines. -
