About

I'm Cooper Aldridge, currently studying for a Diploma of Sports Management at the Port Adelaide Academy of Sport and Flinders University. Sports have always been a huge part of my life, especially cricket and football. Alongside my studies, I find joy in coaching junior teams at my local clubs, where I can share my passion and knowledge with the next generation of athletes. Before diving into my current academic pursuits, I took a gap year where I worked at Mildura Property Advisers as a real estate agent. During this time, I earned my Cert IV in real estate and secured my full license (Diploma of Property). This experience broadened my skill set and taught me valuable lessons in adaptability and hard work. My interests span across sports, community engagement, and teaching/coaching. I'm deeply committed to personal growth and making a positive impact in my community. With a blend of academic knowledge and practical experience, I aim to contribute meaningfully both in the sports industry and beyond.
