Shawn Redhage on alcohol and fast food sponsorship in sports
Transcription
It is really surprising to walk into a stadium and see alcohol being supported and fast food being supported. Because it has no role in our sport. You don’t become an elite athlete by drinking alcohol or consuming fast food. It just will not work for you. Young people need to know that you need to eat healthy to achieve your goals, to achieve your dreams. Not just in sport you know everything in life. If you’re eating the wrong thing, if you’re drinking the wrong thing, it’s just not going to happen for you. Studying pharmacy has really open my eyes to what affect alcohol can have on the body, on the mind. There’s so many diseases and that sort of thing You know that’s always in the back of my mind when I see people getting drunk. What are they actually doing to themselves? There is a lot of pressure out there to be supported by companies such as fast food outlets, or alcohol products. Because there is a lot of money there. But you know what; it is sort of selling out. Because it doesn’t have a role in your sport and You can’t get where you want to go if you consume that sort of product. So what’s the point of having it as your logo? The advice that I give to young people, who really wanting to achieve their goals in sport is to look at the people who have really achieved, who have gone before them. You look at any elite athlete who has really hit the top of their sport And they won’t be eating the fast food, They won’t be drinking the alcohol They will be the ones that are responsible out there And that’s the way to go.
