12.00pm – 1.00pm

Join passionate and inspirational guest speaker David Parkin as he reflects on his career in sport and education and shares his wisdom towards fulfilling your potential, gearing yourself for success and overcoming adversity.

David Parkin is one of the best business and motivational speakers in Australia. David’s accomplishments as a football player and coach are outstanding; he captained Hawthorn Football Club to their second premiership in 1971, and then coached them to a flag in 1978.

He later coached Carlton Football Club to successive Premierships in 1981 and 1982, as well as taking them to a record

breaking number of victories in 1995, which culminated with them being Premiers.

David’s incredible accomplishments have seen his talents transferred from the sporting and academic arenas to the world of business. He originally trained as a primary school teacher and has spent over two decades in teacher education. A lecturer in Sports and Exercise Science at Deakin University, he has recently increased his media commitments with Foxtel’s AFL coverage as a panel member on the weekly show Fox League Teams and as a regular commentator for ABC Radio.

David was inducted into the Australian Football Hall of Fame in 2002 and in 2013 was awarded the Medal of the Order of Australia (OAM) for ‘service to the sport of Australian rules football as an administrator, coach and player’.

Personal & Team Motivation – Coaches Workshop

Local sporting coaches from all areas are invited to a special workshop opportunity with David. Places are limited. Please contact Carrie Smith on (03) 6430 4949 to register your interest.

Mr David Parkin appears by arrangement with Saxton Speakers Bureau.
