“I love putting what I learn into practice”

Glen Eden-born and raised Christian was a champion high jumper and rugby league player until a knee injury forced him to quit competitive sport when he was 18 years old. He decided the best way to keep up his love and involvement with physical activity was through a career in sport and recreation, so he enrolled part-time in a couple of courses in the New Zealand Diploma in Sport, Recreation and Exercise (Community Sport and Recreation) two years ago, while he was working at the West Wave Leisure Centre in Henderson.
