Commonwealth Games Gold Medalist -

Harry Garside

The students in the Year 9 and 10 Athlete Development Programs were lucky enough to have Harry Garside, a former student of Lilydale High School and recent Commonwealth Games Gold medalist, come out and talk to them.

Harry talked about his sporting journey towards his gold medal in Boxing and the challenges he has faced and how he overcame them.

He gave the students some tips that they can apply to their own training.
