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 Julian Toppi from Templestowe
Julian plays footy for the Templestowe Junior Dockers and attends Marcellin College.
He wants to develop his leadership skills in the Live the Dream program and defines leadership as the ability to get people to rally behind you.
Julian’s teacher Michael Noonan has known him for over four years and has witnessed his development into the young man.
“Julian is someone who leads by example. He is known by his peers for his diligent work ethic and friendly nature,” Michael said.
