SHAWN STEWART

Kia rite! We have two essential sessions planned with Shawn Stewart, Performance & Prevention Lead at Basketball New Zealand.

Shawn will be delivering two sessions: Injury Prevention Strategies and Sideline Behaviour and Good Sportsmanship. With his experience at New Zealand Rugby League, Sport Auckland, and currently with Basketball New Zealand, Shawn brings valuable mātauranga on how sideline behavior impacts young athletes' experiences. He will also help our poitūkohu whānau create a more supportive and enjoyable sporting environment for everyone involved.
