Max Doohan Good Sport Award

The Max Doohan Good Sport Award will reward and recognise those players who consistently demonstrate a positive attitude to training and playing - to those who co-operate with coaches and managers and show good grace in the way they interact with team mates and the opposition.

Max was the epitome of a great team mate. Someone who put the interests of the team first, always. Max adored being part of a team with his Sacred Heart mates. This continued after primary school as he relished the chance to play socially and catch up with friends who had gone their separate ways at different schools. Max always gave it his absolute all. Soccer, rugby 7s, AFL, basketball, swimming and his great love, cricket – he did them all recognising the need to keep fit and healthy.

The Max Doohan Good Sports Award will be presented to one person from each year group at the end of each season for Basketball, Netball and Football.

Nominations will be called for from team coaches/managers with final recipients to be decided by the respective Sports Club Committee Co-ordinators with input from the external coaches.

The winners will be presented their awards at Assembly.

The Sacred Heart Sports Club have made a donation to Victor Chang Cardiac Research Institute in memory of Max. In consultation with Max’s parents, Fiona and Julian, we are thrilled that we are able to honour Max’s life with this award.
