“Emotions can run high in sport at all levels. Some of the highlights of my life have been captaining the Boomers in the Olympics and playing in the NBL. But these times can be stressful too, just as they can be in any local competition. It’s how you handle these times that demonstrate your sportsmanship. It just doesn’t pay to lose your cool - it’s poor form for you, your team and your sport.

If everyone involved in sport knows their rights and responsibilities and the consequences of their actions, sport will be safer and fairer for everyone.

I’d encourage everyone involved in sport - whether they’re playing, coaching, umpiring or just watching from the sidelines – to use Play by the Rules as a resource.”
