Joel Gordon

I bring a range of different experience to the table, from the last 2 years of experience in the Sports Industry working in the joint government ‘Healthy Active Learning’ Initiative to the research I completed in 2021 surrounding teaching/coaching methods and the ability of teachers to teach a curriculum area they are not familiar with using these methods. I have experience as a national athlete playing on an international stage as well as coaching experience with secondary and tertiary sports teams.
