My name is Candice Liddy. I was a hockey player
training with the Northern Territory Institute
0:00:05.540,0:00:10.110
of Sport and I’ve moved down to Melbourne
to study physiotherapy at the University of
0:00:10.110,0:00:13.519
Melbourne. I first started playing hockey
when I was really young - I was about six
0:00:13.519,0:00:17.950
years old - but I first became involved with
the ACE Program when I was about 14 years
0:00:17.950,0:00:21.200
old; that was when I was inducted into the
Northern Territory Institute of Sport.
0:00:21.200,0:00:25.680
ACE helped a lot in helping me balance my
life and school and hockey, and even social
0:00:25.680,0:00:30.570
life as well. I was lucky enough to have a
great sports psychologist that helped me,
0:00:30.570,0:00:36.500
not only you know go through exams and help
me prepare for exams, but also helped me train
0:00:36.500,0:00:40.340
through getting over my nerves for things
like fitness tests and training sessions for
0:00:40.340,0:00:43.530
national teams and things like that.
0:00:43.530,0:00:49.800
I was able to focus on things like getting
into university and finishing my education
0:00:49.800,0:00:54.400
and getting a good tertiary entrance rank
so I could go to university in another state
0:00:54.400,0:00:58.710
and study physiotherapy, which is what I’ve
always wanted to do. ACE has supported me
0:00:58.710,0:01:03.079
the whole time through my sporting and my
move to Melbourne and they still continue
0:01:03.079,0:01:07.580
to support me now, until about a year after
I’m finished with the NTIS, they will continue
0:01:07.580,0:01:08.280
to support me.
0:01:08.280,0:01:13.670
I saw a lot of benefits in things such as
my time management skills, my goal-setting
0:01:13.670,0:01:19.560
skills. I know what I want to do and I definitely
am going to be able to get there with the
0:01:19.560,0:01:25.120
things that I’ve learnt through the ACE
Program. They really did help us develop ourselves
0:01:25.120,0:01:30.409
as a person, not just a sports person either,
as a person as a whole, and ACE helps you
0:01:30.409,0:01:34.810
develop so many different skills other than
your sporting skills. I’m definitely excited
0:01:34.810,0:01:36.950
about my future and I can’t wait to keep
going.
