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 Kelsey Giles from Thornlie
 
Kelsey will be one four female Live the Dream participants and has played women’s football since the age of 14 and is now captain of her team.
 
Before that she was playing netball and has previously been a netball coach.
 
Kelsey believes she will benefit from the program by receiving professional guidance on being a leader and will be able to pass on her new knowledge to her footy teammates.
 
She also has dyslexia and despite struggling with school, believes her troubles have helped her to focus on achieving more in sport and work, where she is completing an apprenticeship in hairdressing.
 
Perth Angels president Candice Gertaw says Kelsey continues to be a role model for her teammates.
 
“Kelsey’s leadership can be seen and heard on and off the field and the younger club generation look up to her and what she has to say,” she said.
