Olympian to share strategies at Cooroy Chamber of Commerce event

The Cooroy Chamber of Commerce is proud to announce an exciting opportunity for local business leaders to learn from Olympian Matt Denny at a networking event focused on propelling through the highs and lows of business.

Matt Denny, who represented Australia in the discus throw at the Tokyo 2020 Olympics and narrowly missed out on a medal by just 0.05m, will share his insights on navigating the ups and downs of being an athlete and continuing to strive for personal bests.

Attendees can expect to hear about Matt’s experiences as an Olympian as well as the strategies he uses to overcome adversity and persevere.

Matt’s accomplishments include winning the national discus title with a throw of 60.47m and the hammer title with 68.44m in 2016, becoming just the second athlete in the near 100-year history of the event to achieve this feat and the first since Keith Pardon in 1953.

The event will take place on Wednesday 10 May, 5.30pm – 7.30pm at Cooroy State School.

The Cooroy Chamber of Commerce encourages local business leaders to take advantage of this unique opportunity to learn from a true champion and propel themselves through the highs and lows of their own business journeys.
