Assembly Panel Discussion: Overcoming Setbacks and the Power of Mindset

On Friday the 27th we hosted a conversation about something every single one of our has faced: Setbacks. Whether in sports, academics, friendships or personal goals, we all know what it feels like when things don’t go our way.

But what if setbacks aren’t the end of the story? What if they are the beginning of growth?

We were joined by three incredible gentlemen, who each represent different parts of the journey: a player who rose from not always being the number 1 option at the highest junior level, a coach who has climbed the ranks and shaped young talent throughout the country; and a sports psychologist who works behind the scenes strengthening the most powerful muscle of all - the mind.

Thank you to our special guests Likhona Finca - Lions & UJ Rugby Player, Mzwakhe Nkosi - Professional Rugby Coach and Jarod Byron - Sports Psychologist for their time and expertise.
