The Power of a Football, At Kooyong Lawn Tennis Club

'The Power of a Football is a riveting collection of over 30 personal stories from all walks of life in the 30 years of Reclink footy - stories about Reclink’s impact on lives. The big names, the unsung heroes and everyone in between – from the early days of its grassroots in St Kilda, to the football league it is today around the country. 

Throughout these stories are the recurrent themes of hope, passion, inspiration, confidence and the transformative nature of connection and purpose which AFL football provides. The Power of a Football is an uplifting and important book which reminds us all that something as simple as a football holds the power to change lives.

With testimonials inside from Rev Tim Costello AO, Andrew Gaze, Doug Hawkins, Andy Maher, Tim Watson, Sam Kekovitch, The Power of a Football is an uplifting and important book which reminds us of all that something as simple as a football holds the power to change lives'.
