11. Mark – ‘ I think it’s an amazing platform to voice your opinion, if you have a view getting involved in sport any particular way, or just want to change some aspect within your community then the sports panel gives you that platform to do that. Don’t think you have to be good at sport to join the sport panel. Million different ways of being involved in sport, whether you are 14 and at school or 23 and in employment all got an opinion to express. Sport panel is for you.’ Scott – ‘having passion for sport and that was all you needed’ Lauren – ‘Go for it! Just do it! It’s one of the best opportunities you’ll get. I think for me the reason I’ve developed as a person is just by saying yes to the opportunities that have come my way so the past year and a half I’ve been involved in so many amazing things, and if you get an opportunity like this I don’t think it’s one you can turn down.’
