President’s Report

President’s Report – November 2023

I’d firstly like to thank all returning committee members from 2023 and new members for 2024. It’s not lost on me the fantastic contribution you’re making to the Sharks community and I’m looking forward to building friendships and continuous improvement to the club in the future.

As president my focus will be on three things: Community, Development and enabling our kids and members of the club to Thrive. There are many initiatives that are being discussed to support all three.

Some current key initiatives being scoped and planned are:

Community

  • 2024 season launch showcasing sponsors, club leaders and talent

Development

  • Coaching capability program with a supporting age specific playbook including coaching goals, skill and game development, supporting training drills, one on one support with an elite coach and a relaunched WhatsApp coaching community.
  • Clarity for how the club best elevates our talent into pathway programs such as the Eastern Ranges

Thrive

  • Several thrive nights centred around wellbeing, career and nutrition

The expectations for our committee meetings are that they are not a ‘show and tell’. I appreciate everyone does a lot of ‘one percenters’ but we don’t have time to cover. Please preread the reports and bring to the committee any high level relevant information, actions or decisions that need to be made.

Go Sharks!! ❤️🤍🖤🦈

Cheers Trav

President’s Report: Grand Final Wrap Up

Hi all Sharks,

It’s Sunday night at 10:00pm on the 27th August and I’m sitting outside at my writing desk fending off the cold air.  I’m committing pen to paper and I realise I’m stuffed. Yep, I’ve had it.  I, I, I am emotionally drained.  There again, so are probably another 150 or 160 proud Parents from today’s Grand Finals.  At the mention of the word, “Grand Final” I start to tingle and feel alive again.  Thank you to all our Players and Parents of our Grand Finalists for a truly memorable day.  You played so well and put everything on the line, hence why we feel we’ve been on a number of roller coasters.  Continue Reading
