Each November White Ribbon runs an educational campaign as part of our mission to reduce men's violence towards women. Today boys and young men are still being taught unhelpful messages about what it is to be ‘Real Men and we're asking you to Challenge those #Outdated ideas.

Today we have Andrew Joyce on the podcast! Andrew has a strong interest in relational pedagogical approaches, restorative practice and game-based learning. A great episode with a lot of takeways! #restorativepractice #edchatnz #education #edchat

Great to see such an awesome response to the campaign right across our sports community. So let's keep sharing the message with as many sport parents as we can and visit besportive.kiwi and our social channels for more helpful advice. #besportive #athletesvoicenz

When we’re in such close proximity to our kids for such an extended amount of time it’s important that we’re setting a good example to them, and creating a space where they feel safe. #OurHouseRules whiteribbon.org.nz

We’re losing kids from sport because we ask them to specialise in one sport too early. This limits their skill development, the fun goes out of it – and they walk away.

For 2020:
In youth sport we must not just focus on the <1% of players who ‘might' make it at the cost of the >99% who could become lifelong participants.
It’s about fun, learning, enjoyment, socialising, engagement, legacy & the development of EVERY child -regardless of ability.

In 2020 you’re far more likely to coach a child who'll become a key club member/player/coach than you are a future elite performer
❎It is NOT just about performance, results or creating the next elites
✅It IS all about physical, social & personal development, retention & fun

"Play as many sports as you possibly can at school." A message from Black Caps captain Kane Williamson where he reflects on his experience of playing a mix of different sports in his youth that all helped keep him fresh for cricket. #balanceisbetter https://xitter.cf/t.co/63kqEEUNJq

Was amazing to work with Wellington College to bring the Youth Ambassador Leadership Project to the wider Wellington Region. 250 students and 30 schools. Amazing.

There are fourteen fathers in the All Blacks #RWC2019 squad. You know them all as rugby players, now it's time to see them being dads. 👨👧👦

Every single child you coach is the potential future of YOUR sport/club, regardless of their ability.
It’s all about retention of ALL, not just selection based attrition.

I’ll take a ‘let’s give it a try & see what happens’ colleague every day of the week over a ‘nope, that will never work’ colleague.
Both our students’ needs & the dynamics of society are changing so rapidly, we can’t assume something that previously didn’t work won’t work now.
