Guest Speaker
Our first WEXPO – The Student Edition engages Blacktown’s own popular Olympic diver and local business owner Melissa Wu. This lady is a star and a total inspirational icon.
Melissa will call on her vast experience to talk about her campaign over multiple Olympics, keys to developing a winning mindset, overcoming adversity and building a successful business. She is an Australian Institute of Sport scholarship holder and also competed on SAS Australia.

Josh and Melissa will take the students through some weightlifting fundamentals. Although weightlifting is a stand-alone sport, the weightlifting movements of snatch and clean and jerk are commonly used by athletes across all sports to improve strength, power, speed and coordination, which can help improve performance in all sports.
They will cover a few basic movement patterns that all children should be exposed to including body weight squats and overhead squats and then use wooden dowels (sticks) to introduce the students to basic weightlifting movements and technique. It will still be interesting even for those not taking part because they will learn about weightlifting.
