G’day, my name’s David Guest and I’m
an Australian hockey player with the Kookaburras.
0:00:06.390,0:00:11.759
I’m an Australian Institute of Sport scholarship
holder, and also a Tasmanian Institute of
0:00:11.759,0:00:16.679
Sport scholarship holder. Currently I’m
studying physiotherapy at Curtin University
0:00:16.679,0:00:19.119
in Perth and it’s going really well.
0:00:19.119,0:00:24.900
ACE helped out, when I went to them and decided
that I wanted to go back to university and
0:00:24.900,0:00:29.140
wanted to get into some study and they were
just really helpful in getting my foot in
0:00:29.140,0:00:33.910
the door and opening up opportunities for
me to start studying again; so undoubtedly
0:00:33.910,0:00:40.910
I wouldn’t have gotten into physiotherapy
if it hadn’t have been for the ACE Services.
0:00:41.730,0:00:45.930
You know, hopefully I will be able to finish
my degree in the next four to five years,
0:00:45.930,0:00:49.980
so then I will have something in place to
jump into once I’m finished my hockey career.
0:00:49.980,0:00:55.149
So I think it’s really important that whilst
you’re playing a sport that you’re doing
0:00:55.149,0:00:55.879
something else.
0:00:55.879,0:01:02.879
ACE Services isn’t like a one-stop-shop;
with ACE and my circumstances would be totally
0:01:02.989,0:01:06.740
different to another athlete’s and you’ve
got to actually go to the ACE Service and
0:01:06.740,0:01:11.049
say “Look, this is what I want to do”
and that’s when they can help you. If they’ve
0:01:11.049,0:01:13.850
got an understanding of what you’d like
to do, then they’ve got the scope to put
0:01:13.850,0:01:19.140
you in the right direction; they’ll tailor
a program to each and every athlete on what
0:01:19.140,0:01:24.450
they want to do and what the training involved.
There’s a lot of scope out there for them
0:01:24.450,0:01:27.049
to cater for a lot of different athletes from
a lot of different sports.
