On Friday May 5, Nigel Avery, an Olympic and Commonwealth athlete came to speak to students about the inspiration that took him to the podium in order to receive gold and bronze medals.
He was determined to succeed and tried a range of sports in order to do so. He was motivated by seeing John Walker, (other New Zealand athlete) win the gold medal in the Montreal Olympics in 1974.

Nigel was so inspired that he now speaks to students sharing his thoughts. He said that being the best is the most important thing. If we don't win, then Nigel explained that being the best we can possibly be and feeling proud of ourselves and our efforts, is the next best thing to do.
