Media - Play On
Delivered as a group workshop - face to face or online
A one hour training session for first year AFL and AFLW players
The media remains a dual-edged sword for the AFL/W and its players. The record breaking media rights, pay more than 50 percent of players' salaries, provide player welfare and build the brand by allowing the public a glimpse into the inner sanctum of Australia's best known Indigenous sport.
But with the media interest comes a quest for journalists to break stories beyond the boundary line; bar room brawls, sexy scandals and groundless gossip from the locker room.
For more than 25 years Actu8 has been empowering AFL players, coaches and administrators with media skills to handball unwanted questions, baulk unscheduled interviews and put non-football matters out of bounds.
This hour-long course delivers an entertaining but effective view of how to deal with the media and promote your club, your players and our great game. It uses examples from the Australian sporting landscape and the fictitious Cairns Crocs Football Club. (The most scandal-plagued club to never play AFL.)
The course is full of laughter and learning and often considered a highlight of the first year players' training calendar.
