Anton Iaria

Advantage! Community Coach/Health & Well-Being Champion

Most enjoyable aspect of your new role: I really enjoy coaching rugby league throughout all the schools in the barrow area. Some of the confidence and skills you see the kids gain in such a short amount of time is really satisfying and makes the role well worth it.

Biggest achievement: I’ve represented Italy four times  on an international level in rugby league. Hoping to add a few more this year in the World Cup

Role model: My parents – their hard work and support each and every day is something I really admire and hopefully can return the favour down the track

Sporting role model: Cameron Smith – he is probably the greatest NRL player ever. He set the standard year after year about what it meant to be a professional athlete and was a leader on/ off the field. A true role model for any athlete.

Sporting/coaching qualifications: Boxercise instructor, Dodgeball level 1 and 2, Level 1 rugby league coach, Certificate 3 and 4 in fitness & personal training
