Gabby Newton does it again!

 HOW does she keep doing it?

 

An insight into what makes a champion; 

Gabby Newton, College Captain, ADP Scholarship holder and highly valued member of our Greensborough College community has already achieved so many amazing feats again this year, here’s a few of them;

  • 2019 TAC Cup Premiership Winner
  • 2019 TAC Cup Premiership Captain
  • 2019 Northern Knights Best & Fairest
  • Member of the AFLW Academy
  • Member of 2019 Victorian Metro Football Team
  • Member of 2019 School Sports Victoria Basketball Team
  • Member of 2019 Southern Sabers NBL(1) Women’s Basketball Team
  • Recipient of the 2018 Sporting Blue Award (recognised and received in 2019)

More and more amazing sporting accolades achieved by our schools most recognised and celebrated athlete.

So, how does she keep doing it?

Talent? Sure! She’s talented alright.

However, Gabby’s sporting success is not just the result of her talent. 

 

If you speak with those closest to her or even to the humble & gracious Gabby herself, you’d find out that her success is a combination of all her daily disciplines, her consistent effort, hard work, personal sacrifices, perseverance, constant practice, learning from her mistakes, resilience, openness to feedback, having a supportive network, and above all, a love & passion for what she does.  With all that said, any one of us can have those traits and characteristics, anyone can put in consistent effort, seek support, self-reflect, strive for excellence no matter what area of life in which you want to excel.

 

Go on, be courageous!  Aspire to be the best you can be.  Do what most others don’t, so you can achieve what most others won’t. Our Captain Gabby does it, and maybe so can YOU!

 

May we all learn and draw inspiration from not only what we see Gabby achieve but also from the traits, characteristics and behaviours hidden below the surface of true champions.

 

Gabby Newton, is undoubtedly one of those champions! Congratulations Gabby
