Three-time world champion and Olympic bronze rowing medallist, Juliette Drysdale (nee Haigh) came to our school to speak to us about her sporting achievements. Juliette showed us photos and video clips of the training and hard work involved in competing at the highest level. She stated 'that she had always wanted to go to an Olympics but wasn't quite sure in which sporting code.'
Juliette's keys to success included:
1. Work Hard
2. Set short term, achievable goals
3. To keep your big goal in mind
4. When things go wrong...Don't EVER give up
5. Have fun!!!
All the children were buzzing with excitement, especially when she showed us her Olympic bronze medal. Juliette is now retired from international rowing, and has recently married Olympic Rowing Champion, Mahe Drysdale. Thanks so much, Juliette for your awe inspiring presentation. You showed all of us that one can reach their dreams with strong determination and to 'never give up' regardless of how tough it seems.
