このコンテンツについて
Tom Walsh is one of the most successful, and perhaps one of the most liked, Kiwi athletes of all time. He’s a world champion shotputter and Olympic medallist, as well as a down-to-earth character who hasn’t been afraid to do things his way.
This episode of What I Know Now puts a bunch of sporting issues under the microscope, such as specialisation and the popularity of mainstream sports. Tom is down to earth, bringing a valuable perspective on a lot of the big issues in school sport in New Zealand.
School Sport CEO Mike Summerell and Tom talk about:
- Why he gets frustrated hearing kids are being forced to specialise in sports from a young age
- How he favoured rugby and cricket over athletics for quite a long time
- How playing sport helped his social life when he moved from Timaru to Christchurch
- Being tempted to play a more mainstream sport, and why he ended up going with athletics
- Why he thinks we tie too much importance to rugby
- How sport has grown his self-awareness and ability to check himself sometimes
- The perspective and learning and value he’s gained from losing
This is a great all-round episode that touches on the many different values of sport, and how to get the most benefit from it.
