Often if there\u2019s a minority and you\u2019re not in an environment where there\u2019s lots of females and that\u2019s where you\u2019re comfortable, then you have to learn to develop professional working relationships with men and enrol in courses and get experience.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p3\"><span class=\"s1\">\u201cJust find something little to work on to make sure you\u2019re keeping your professional development up. Have a mentor in the area you\u2019re trying to get better in and put your hand up and say \u2018I\u2019ll have a go\u2019.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p3\"><span class=\"s1\">\u201cSurround yourself with people who can support you on that journey. Have a go even if you don\u2019t know, then run some development and education alongside that.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p3\"><span class=\"s1\">\u201cWhatever you want to do, find someone who has done it and ask them for help,\u201d she said.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p3\"><span class=\"s1\">22 years after the Sydney 2000 Olympic Games, Cook has turned her sights to the next Australian home Olympics at Brisbane 2032. A proud Queenslander, Cook is hoping athletes will have the opportunity to make the most of the runway to 2032 and the prospects a home Games will present.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p3\"><span class=\"s1\">\u201cMy hope for any Queensland or Australian athlete is they get to experience a home Games, like I was very lucky to do in Sydney.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p3\"><span class=\"s1\">\u201cI hope we get the biggest number we\u2019ve ever had reaching the top of the podium in 2032 and to experience home success, that would be special.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-74669\" src=\"https:\/\/asianvolleyball.net\/new\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/275364735_5106026156126355_2680683549256621313_n-202x300.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"202\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/asianvolleyball.net\/new\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/275364735_5106026156126355_2680683549256621313_n-202x300.jpg 202w, https:\/\/asianvolleyball.net\/new\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/275364735_5106026156126355_2680683549256621313_n.jpg 403w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 202px) 100vw, 202px\" \/><\/p>\n<p class=\"p3\"><span class=\"s1\">\u201cAlong the way, that dream and aspiration will lift many others to wear the green and gold, and that will lift many others to play club sport, to hop off the couch and be healthy.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p3\"><span class=\"s1\">\u201cWe want more and more people to be inspired to walk, run, swim, play sport, be active because it\u2019s better for health\u2026 physical and mental health.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p3\"><span class=\"s1\">\u201cBy driving that message and hopefully our Olympic athletes inspire people to have a go, we\u2019ll see more people playing sport, we\u2019ll see more people wanting to wear the green and gold and then more people representing Australia at the Olympics,\u201d said Cook.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p5\"><span class=\"s1\">Related links of AVC<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p6\"><span class=\"s2\">AVC Website: click <a href=\"http:\/\/www.asianvolleyball.net\/\"><span class=\"s3\">www.asianvolleyball.net<\/span><\/a><\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p7\"><span class=\"s2\">AVC Facebook: click <a href=\"http:\/\/www.facebook.com\/AsianVolleyballConfederation\"><span class=\"s4\">www.Facebook.com\/AsianVolleyballConfederation<\/span><\/a><\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p6\"><span class=\"s2\">AVC Twitter: click: <a href=\"http:\/\/www.twitter.com\/AsianVolleyball\"><span class=\"s3\">www.twitter.com\/AsianVolleyball<\/span><\/a><\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p6\"><span class=\"s2\">AVC Instagram: click: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/avcvolley\/?hl=en\"><span class=\"s3\">https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/avcvolley\/?hl=en<\/span><\/a><\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p5\"><span class=\"s1\">AVC Youtube: click: Asian Volleyball Confederation<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p8\"><span class=\"s1\">AVC WeChat: Asian Volleyball Confederation<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Credit: volleyball.org.au The volleyball community is joining people across the world to mark International Women\u2019s Day, Tuesday 8 March.&nbsp; Sport has played a big role in helping to #BreakTheBias, with&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":9,"featured_media":74667,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"ngg_post_thumbnail":0,"pgc_sgb_lightbox_settings":"","_vp_format_video_url":"","_vp_image_focal_point":[],"footnotes":""},"categories":[88,100],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-74666","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-beach-volleyball-news","category-slider"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v26.3 -
