Live the Dream is a once in a lifetime opportunity for 16 young Australians to become immersed in the culture of the Fremantle Dockers Football Club and ‘live the life’ of an AFL player for five days.
Live the Dream offers participants a rare opportunity to develop skills and behaviours that can deliver long-term benefits to the individual and their local community.
The program runs from 18-22 July and thanks to Decmil Australia, the cost of the program for the participants is free, including meals, accommodation and apparel.
Eight Fremantle Dockers’ players will act as mentors for the boys during the program.
Meet Jack O’Reilly, one of the lucky young men who has been given the opportunity to ‘Live the Dream’.
Jack is a 16-year-old from Kelmscott who attends Cecil Andrews Senior High School and plays for Kelmscott Junior Football Club.
He is also currently completing a Certificate 2 in Sport and Recreation.
Jack considers AFL footballers as role models and inspirations for his footy.
“I believe this opportunity will further my footy skills and help increase my AFL knowledge," he said.
“I aspire to become a leader and role model for younger footy players.”
Jack believes a leader should set good examples, maintain high standards and always be encouraging and inspirational.
