“This event continues to be a great opportunity for the sporting industry to learn from some of Australia’s most talented sportspeople,” Jones said.

Sports television and radio commentator Mark Readings will quiz some of the Peel and South West’s top coaches on how to bring out the best in athletes and what they did to get where they are.

“Delegates have a variety of topics to choose from to satisfy their interests,” Jones said.

“After feedback last year, we’ve included topics of a strategic nature for local government and the sporting industry.”

Administrators can to listen to a communications specialist demonstrate how to make the media work for their club or develop leadership skills by negotiating with influence.

Local government and industry representatives can be challenged to deliver sports differently or join Communicare in understanding how migration patterns provide new opportunities for sporting communities.

Officials can learn how to react and respond positively to negative behaviour, while clubs could discover strategies to respond to abusive behaviour.

The forum has been presented the DSR, with support from the Peel Regional Academy of Sports, City of Mandurah and Shire of Murray and Shire of Serpentine Jarrahdale.
