A milestone event for sport and health in Hawke's Bay was achieved at the weekend, says Marcus Agnew, who leads talent development and the Pathway to Podium for AUT Millenium Hawke's Bay..
Leading athlete development coaches from Auckland's AUT Millennium Institute travelled to the region to share their knowledge with "Hawke's Bay's best EIT sport and rec graduates".
The two-day coach education course, at Havelock North High School, was part of a 10-week series, at the end of which graduates will be AUT Millennium Hawke's Bay accredited athlete development coaches.
Collaboration between AUT Millennium staff, EIT and residents of the region is part of Mr Agnew's vision for the proposed AUT Millennium Hawke's Bay.
He is involved in the proposed $10 million development at the Regional Sports Park, spearheaded by Sir Graeme Avery to create a world-class multiple-sport training, community health and wellbeing facility.
