Glen Ballam NZ Forces player.

Glen has come and talked to Room 3 & 4 about getting in the NZ forces rugby team. He shared why he likes being in a team and about setting and achieving individual and team goals. He shared how we need to set achievable goals and how sometimes we don't achieve these goals and have to re set these goals. We also need set small steps to achieve these goals. Thanks Glen for sharing your wonderful experience with us.
