Our U15 and U16 boys were very fortunate to participate in the AFL Ahead of the Game program. This two-session  workshop, expertly facilitated by Claire and the Ahead of the Game team, saw our Junior Jets engage in a range of practical lessons and discussions designed to help them build their resilience, positive mindset, mental health and mental fitness. The immediate feedback – from our Junior Jets and parents and coaches in attendance – has been overwhelmingly positive. Indeed, there has been plenty of lessons our young men can take away that will help their growth as both footballers, and members of the community.

We would like to send a huge thank you to Claire and the team from Ahead of the Game (Ash and Maddy) for bringing this program and opportunity to the Gungahlin Jets.  As a family and community club, helping to develop the resilience and potential of our people is one of our highest priorities.
