Motivational Speaker - Jim Brandon
St George Bank partnered with the University of Wollongong to bring Jim Brandon, a professional basketballer as a motivation speaker to our school.
Students of Year 7 were involved in this program. Jim Brandon is a gifted international, motivational speaker with a very impressive background in the world of professional basketball. Jim has over 5 years experience as a sports commentator and guest sports analyst with Sky Sport, ITV Sport, Channel 4 Sport, BBC Radio Sports and Chrysalis Sport Productions.
Jim has been described as inspiration, entertaining and fun. A New Yorker from the Bronx, Jim has been involved in numerous youth projects in both the USA and Europe. He is President and Founder of Winnnerzinc, an organisation aimed at inspiring today's youth in being the best they can be.
Jim used music, video clips and imagery to simulate and encourage our students to be the best they can be. He talked about having an inner ‘Lion' to ensure you give 100% all the time.
I would like to thank St George Bank and the University of Wollongong for providing our students with this great opportunity. I would also like to especially thank Jim for travelling all the way from America to encourage our kids to be the best they can be.
