An expert Pedagogue: Robert De Castella

In my search to find out what it takes to be a sports coaching expert pedagogue I find  Robert De Castella a truly remarkable man when it comes to his ability to change the lives of so many. Rob is the owner of  SmartStart for Kids! a not-for-profit organisation built to empower schools, parents and children to develop healthy habits and attitudes to address increasing obesity and sedentary lifestyle related illnesses by getting kids active in schools. Rob is also the founder of Deeks health foods that is a 100% grain and gluten free Bakery encouraging the habit of healthy eating. 


However, this Blog's main aim is to highlight Rob's success in developing The Indigenous Marathon Project (IMP). This project aims to help both indigenous communities and people across Australia become more active and adopt a healthy lifestyle.The project provides the opportunity for a select group of both male and female  indigenous runners to run the New York Marathon. Subsequenlty, the story is an inspiration to all Australians and allows one to see the benefits of adopting a healthy and happy lifestyle. The following documentary explores the concept of belief and perseverance, that anything is achievable if you put your heart into it and that dreams do come true!
