Hockey Australia transcript

Jane: Partnering with APM is a huge deal for the Hockeyroos. Obviously we’re a sport that relies on that external funding to be able to go to tournaments, conduct our daily training environment. And so having someone behind us that’s willing to support us through our journey, especially leading into Paris, is a huge deal. APM is a global company, so it has a huge force behind it, not only able to provide us monetary funding, but also job opportunities for the girls entering into the workforce and being an elite athlete is an incredibly difficult journey to navigate. And hopefully with APM, we can get girls transitioning a lot earlier.

Mike: The Hockeyroos are an iconic Australian sporting team, a real success story. And for us, you know, we’re really pleased to be supporting the Hockeyroos who really epitomise excellence, high performance. You know, they’ve been resilient through a long period of time and that’s what our business is all about as well. Yeah, we’re really happy to support the Hockeyroos, the Kookaburras, and also importantly be a partner in supporting the future of the All-Abilities Inclusive Program. We operate in local communities and hockey really does operate in local communities and bring participants and supporters and parents together. And we really feel it does mirror what our business does around the world and in Australia in particular.
