High-achieving Bay of Plenty youth have extra inspiration this week after spending an evening with an Olympic gold medallist.
The Adastra Foundation provides financial and mentoring support for young Kiwis and held a function last night at the Adams Centre in Mount Maunganui, with TECT.
Rower Eric Murray spoke to the group about goal setting, overcoming adversity, resetting plans after disruption, and his top tips for being successful.
The foundation and TECT support 19 local athletes, musicians and arts performers as part of their 2020 scholarship programme.
