Dispelling the Ugly Parent Syndrome at junior sport with Rod Campbell
Rod Campbell, the creator of Learning Life Through Sport is a firefighter football coach and a father of five who has dedicated his adult life to helping people.
Rod uses the superpower of selflessness to inspire others to make someone else's day better. Rod has been audited with the Australian Fire Service medal for his inspirational efforts in educating adolescents in road safety.
Rod's road awareness campaign he coordinated for 15 years resulted in a 75% reduction in fatalities in the 16 to 19-year-old bracket in South Australia and a reduction in serious injuries of over one-third.
Rod has created an education program, Learning Life Through Sport, to tackle what, in my view, is a crisis in bad parenting behaviour in junior sports in Australia and around the world. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
