The Balance is Better Champions programme aims to build further awareness and understanding of the Balance is Better philosophy, helping create positive change in youth sport.

The Balance is Better Champions are a group of sports personalities from across Aotearoa New Zealand who will share their stories of how sport made a difference in their lives. These are real athletes who many will be familiar with, have represented Aotearoa on the world stage – and understand and live Balance is Better.

By working with Balance is Better, the Champions will support the work of their sports codes as well as help more young people experience the wider value of sport, such as social connection, learning new skills, solving problems, and giving back to the community.

Keep an eye out on the Balance is Better website and Sport NZ social media channels to hear the stories of our Champions and the mahi they’re doing to encourage rangatahi to enjoy and stay in sport for life.
