"I got introduced to wheelchair basketball, which gave me a new motivation and led me to make the Australian men's wheelchair team in 2013-19 winning a gold medal in 2014 and going to the Paralympics in 2016."
According to Josh, the Diploma of Sport is an excellent course. He said, "It teaches you about inclusion and participation and what happens behind the scenes in sport. That's why I enrolled in 2020. It gets you to look at sport from a different angle."
Josh enjoyed his time studying at Box Hill Institute and said it was very adaptable to students, whether or not they have a disability. He said, "They are always pushing to get a diverse group and everyone can learn from each other and make themselves better for when they want to get into the industry.

Bree Gaskin swapped her criminology degree for a dual diploma in sport and events at Box Hill Institute. It was the best move she’s made. Bree experienced more than she could imagine. She even did a stint in Canada on the Study Abroad Program. Bree works at Fairfax Events & Entertainment and loves her job because she gets to see how much the athletes and participants enjoy the events her team puts on. 

Greg Stafford had a 38-year career in banking with 10 of those in Senior Executive positions when he realised he needed a change. Having a strong sporting background in coaching martial arts and Aussie rules footy, and with a high level of personal fitness, he decided that the fitness industry was calling. Greg came to Box Hill Institute to make a career out of fitness, studying a Certificate III and IV in Fitness. He said, &ldquo;The study experience was awesome!" Greg is currently employed at Aqua Hub Leisure Centre in Croydon where he does nine hours a week on the gym floor, runs three one-hour group fitness classes, and conducts nine personal training sessions. He began his role straight after he became qualified and has a number of personal training clients outside work. He is also the Fitness Coach for a local First Division football club. Greg&rsquo;s aim is to keep doing what he&rsquo;s doing as long as possible. He said, &ldquo;I find it extremely motivating seeing the people I deal with getting fitter and feeling better about themselves."

&ldquo;Their support during and on completion of my studies was exceptional. Whether they were reaching out for a coffee and a chat, or passing on networking and employment opportunities, I felt I was well supported over the journey.&rdquo;
In late 2021, all of Sam&rsquo;s courage, perseverance, hard work and hard-won experience led to a new role as Tennis Victoria&rsquo;s Club Development Officer for the Metro South East region.
The skills and experience he acquired during his diploma, such as strategy development, financial and operational forecasting and reporting, and marketing, were directly applicable to this role, and combined neatly with the transferrable relationship management and project management skills from his previous career. He also credits the experience he gained working on the international e-sports tournament with helping him to secure the position.
