IN 2022, we’re looking to amplify Indigenous Sport Month by celebratin­g and elevating the rich history, and future, of Indigenous athletes. Our goal is to use our inspiring ambassador­s like Ash Barty and Greg Inglis to tell their stories and encourage children to utilise sport as a “pathway to success”.

GREG INGLIS
