Live the Dream, presented by Decmil, is a once in a lifetime opportunity for 16 young Australians to become immersed in the culture of the Fremantle Dockers Football Club and ‘live the life’ of an AFL player for five days.

Live the Dream offers participants a rare opportunity to develop skills and behaviours, which can deliver long-term benefits to the individual and their local community.

The program will include a tour of Fremantle headquarters and Domain Stadium, a survival base camp in Chidlow, a ropes course at Point Walter Recreation Camp in Bicton as well as leadership and health and well being training sessions.

The Live the Dream program commences on Friday 3 July with Fremantle players Michael Walters, Tommy Sheridan, Hayden Crozier, Nick Suban, Chris Mayne, Michael Johnson, Danyle Pearce and Zac Clarke as the participant mentors.
 
Meet Tayah Reed from South Guildford.
 
Tayah is currently studying year 11 in the Fremantle Dockers SEDA program and is also the co-captain of the Swan Districts youth girls football team.
 
Being a part of the Live the Dream program would allow Tayah to become a better team leader and role model for her peers.
 
“Participating in this program would be an amazing opportunity to live and train like a professional athlete,” Tayah said.
 
“Not only would it benefit me, it would also have a major impact on my team as I could share and use all the skills and knowledge I gain from the program.”
 
Tayah’s coach, Leith Woods, said the 16-year-old had always shown exemplary behaviour on and off the field.
 
“She will come to training even when injured and is always one of the first to arrive and set training up,” Leith said.
 
“On days when our team is not playing, she supports the seniors by running water and helps out at fundraising events.
 
“This experience will give her more insight into leadership qualities and open her eyes and mind to an array of roles she can play on and off the field.”
