AIA New Zealand is calling on schools and football clubs to register for a chance to win a visit from the insurer’s Tottenham Hotspur Global Football Development Coaches program.

From Aug. 1-11, program coaches Shannon Moloney and Tegan Burling will tour New Zealand to help inspire and encourage Kiwi kids, especially girls. The tour will visit 12 schools and seven football clubs in Auckland, Wellington, and Christchurch to engage with local communities and foster a love for football, as well as promote the development of women’s football in the country.

Tottenham Hotspur global football development coach Shannon Moloney played on the Hotspur’s women’s team from 2013 to 2018. She now dedicates her time nurturing the next generation of footballers.

“My role with Spurs and AIA is a special one, allowing me to inspire young people to play football and achieve their dreams,” Moloney said. “I love to motivate younger generations to create active lifestyles and habits, incorporating sport, exercise, and nutrition and I can’t wait to see the passion young New Zealanders bring to the table.”

The coaching sessions will cover technical skills, exercise and nutrition workshops, motivational speaking focused on women in sport, and coach-the-coaches sessions for club teams. Interested schools and football clubs can register with AIA NZ until July 7.

The insurer also recently announced that it is sponsoring a second independent research project that aims to better understand the mental health and wellbeing of financial advisers in New Zealand.
