There is a bit of a sport buzz happening at the moment. I feel it. I feel that no sooner does one great sporting event finish another start. We are a sporting nation are we not? We are known to love our sport. What true Australian is not connected to at least one sporting love? I have to admit, I am not a sporting junky. Me and sport had an attempt at a loving relationship but we came to the conclusion we were just not meant to be. The best you will see me at is a brisk walk with my ipod and my dog walking beside me.
I have other loves. I have other passions. Hey, I didn’t even know about the Rugby Semi-final until someone told me the day before. Maybe I am a little less of an Australian. Especially considering I don’t barrack for an AFL team.
But this is the thing about us all… we all have something different to be inspired by, passionate about. We all have our own unique loves and connections. I have different strengths.
Give me a semi-final or grand final ticket to the Australian Open… I am there! Even maybe with a big foamy finger (or is that for a different sport?) But there is nothing more inspiring and more rewarding to see our nation stop for a horse race… the streets are quiet, the streets are empty.
We value our sport, we value our families getting together over a sporting game. Those are memories the kids will remember! Whatever ‘sport’ that may be.

As seen in the latest issue of 3008docklands magazine. This is what I know about sport. By all means, I don’t protest to know much on sport… just a little..just a few traditions and values.
What traditions do you know about sport?
