Harry Otty is the National Performance Director at The Billy Graham Youth Foundation in New Zealand and is a proper interesting guy! A boxing man through and through with an education in Sport Science and Community Justice. Harry comes on the podcast to talk about how the wonderful and charismatic Billy Graham set up one of the most influential community enhancing programmes in New Zealand through the sport of boxing. From their work in schools and collaborations with the police, Harry, originally from Merseyside, talks about how they instill values to form better communites. He also goes on to talk about particpation and performance in New Zealand as well as the formal coaching structure. Personally, I loved how the many Billy Graham Youth Foundation gyms in both the north and south islands demonstrate their values to help shape the diverse young people of New Zealand. If you would like to learn more about BGYF, then please contact Harry through their website https://www.bgyf.org.nz/ And definitely take a look at their promo video on the site. It's tremendous!
