ENSURING YOUR ATHLETE IS MENTALLY FIT

LifeChanger x Zespri AIMS Games

Founded in Australia in 2017 by former AFL player and coach Scott Watters, LifeChanger has grown into a leading youth wellbeing organisation. Expanding to New Zealand in 2022, LifeChanger equips young people with the tools to thrive—guided by the belief that real change begins from within.

Grounded in positive psychology and a strengths-based approach, LifeChanger’s programs help young people build resilience, discover their inner hero, and strengthen connections with self and community. Every workshop and initiative is designed to unlock potential, elevate wellbeing, and foster lifelong confidence.

Join current and former elite athletes and LifeChanger facilitators at Gordon Spratt Reserve for fun, hands-on sessions designed to:

  • Deepen connection with self and teammates

  • Foster teamwork to achieve shared goals

  • Inspire future-focused thinking and goal setting
