Its great when you can really say a lot about a website - something that's different, something that's really marketable and above all a really strong brand. Sport Lived is a website with that certain mix of excitement about it. Now launched with a new website, new brand and developed online strategy, Sport Lived is destined to make a big impression in the Gap Year arena.



Having done a gap year myself, I'm aware of many of the different programmes available and that there are a lot of company's out there doing it. What I love most about Sport Lived is the different type of programmes available. Its quite easy to think that a gap year is just about teaching English or wildlife conservation, sometimes something not all of us are either wanting or capable of doing. Sport Lived believe that a gap year should be one of the most exciting, fulfilling experiences of your life; the chance to make new friends, live in a lively city and most importantly, develop and find the true you.



What better way to achieve this by spending a gap year playing and coaching sport? Doing something you love on a daily basis together with the thrill of living abroad. The tailored programmes allow Sport Lived to cater for individuals of all sporting abilities. Whether you want to coach school kids, train hard to improve your own game or just have fun playing your favourite sport in a new environment, there is a programme to suit you. Such a variety of sports are available, such as coaching netball, hockey coaching or even play cricket.



All of the countries to which the programmes are run are renowned for their al fresco, action-packed approach to life and are perennially popular with travellers from all over the globe. Sports coaching courses like rugby in New Zealand, also give participants the chance to explore much more of these spectacular countries thus combining a passion for sort with fantastic travel opportunities. I can't think of a better way to spend a gap year Australia then playing sport and doing something I loved doing everyday.
