Gold Coast SUNS Academy

🚀 Coach Academy | LIFT‑OFF 🚀

An outstanding launch to our Coach Academy last night, setting the tone for what’s going to be a big journey of growth, learning and connection.

Hearing from Craig Cameron and Mark Evans gave our coaches real insight into leadership, standards, people, and the responsibility we carry in shaping environments where others can thrive. Open, honest and incredibly powerful messages to kick things off.

The calibre of speakers, the engagement in the room and the energy from our coaches spoke volumes about how seriously the Club and Academy are investing in coach development.

A strong first step. Plenty more to come.
📈👊
