Subiaco’s league coach Beau Wardman has had a different pathway to the norm to get where he is today.
We have all heard of some WAFL/AFL players becoming umpires, but Beau is unique in being an elite umpire that became a successful WAFL league coach, despite only playing football at a junior level.
We got a great insight into Beau’s early interest in sports as a participant before being guided into the pathway of football umpiring – progressing through the WAFL system to umpire over 100 league games.
We then hear about his big switch to coaching, where Beau progressed from a colts assistant coach to as succesful a colts coach, then being appointed as a league coach and taking his team to two premierships.
Beau explains the life of WAFL league coach and what is involved, - which is a lot more involved than what the average punter might think.
This is a fascinating story.
