What sport means for me, future goals etc:

Hi, my name is Declan I am your Year 11 Sport Delegate for 2020. I currently do professional karting and cross country running as my primary sports. I believe that anything is possible if you show dedication, commitment and persistency. My current sport is karting and from 2017 I have been able to achieve podiums and race wins due to the important elements of teamwork and communication. Karting requires you as a driver to be mentally and physically fit to allow for quick reflexes and exact precision every lap. You also have to have great communication skills in order to relay information to your team so that they can get kart set up right. This year I moved up to the premium karting category in WA (Tag 125 light) which consists of the fastest single speed karts karting has to offer. My Goals for 2020 is to finish in the top 5 in the WA state Goldstar series and top 3 in the Western Australian Sprint Kart Championships. For 2020 at LJBC I aim to create a competitive but supportive sporting environment where people are not afraid to have a go.
