## Resource

Justin Pascoe was drafted into the AFL at 18 and now owns Super Netball's Sunshine Coast Lightning, after leading professional clubs across the AFL, NRL and world sport. He shares why self-interest kills teams, how to build a sporting club that doesn't live or die on weekend results, why netball is Australia's most under-commercialised sport, and the "be the duck" approach to pressure: calm on the surface, paddling underneath. Plus: parenting athletic kids without becoming a tiger parent, and why 80% of what you worry about never happens.
