Australian Athletics - One of Life's Greatest Loves

Some of life's greatest loves can start early. A friendship. A pet. A feeling.

The anticipation of knowing you're about to do something you enjoy. The confidence that builds when you master a skill. The satisfaction that you improved on last time. The realisation that, hey, you're actually pretty good.

Not that you need to be, because that's not what matters. Try, then try again. The journey can be whatever you make it. Wherever it takes you. Perhaps it's the sensation of running without a destination. Just because you can. Waking up and knowing you'll soon be out there, in your happy place. Side by side with your dad, your sister, your mate - or the family dog that's slept at your feet.

It's about how good you feel afterwards, stronger for what's just finished. Moving, growing, fit, active, healthy.

So start as you mean to continue. With athletics. Loving it. For life. Australian Athletics.
