💚💛 A BIG shout-out to our amazing Australian Team Managers! 💛💚
Behind every successful Australian team at the World Masters Athletics Championships are some incredibly hard-working people making sure everything runs as smoothly as possible!
A huge thank you to Lisa Attenborough (SA), Jayne Hardy (ACT) and Stephen McGugan (NT), our Australian Team Managers. From answering endless questions and sharing important information, to sorting out the unexpected, supporting athletes and being there when someone needed a helping hand. You were always working away behind the scenes. 🙌
And an extra special mention to Jayne, who balanced her Team Manager responsibilities while also stepping into the competition herself and taking part in the throws events! 🥏💪 Talk about multitasking!
Managing a team this size across a busy World Championships is certainly no small job. There are long days, early starts, constant questions and plenty of “Where do I find…?” moments! 😄
Thank you Lisa, Jayne and Stephen for your patience, encouragement, hard work and commitment to the Australian team throughout the Championships. 🇦🇺
We might see the athletes out on the track and field, but there is an enormous amount happening behind the scenes and we are very grateful to have had you three looking after Team Australia! 💚💛
THANK YOU, TEAM MANAGERS!👏
