Not Ordinary Lives - Ross Leipold (eBook, ePUB)

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

Sometimes life's greatest opportunities come from the most unexpected moments. When Swan Districts Football Club suddenly needed an Operations Manager, Ross Leipold stepped in-not because he sought the role, but because fate and his calm, capable nature made him the perfect fit.

Ross grew up in a large, hardworking family that taught him the values of resilience, respect, and community spirit. From his early days at Gosnells and Thornlie schools to his rise through the ranks in publishing and entrepreneurship, Ross's journey is defined by a tireless work ethic and an unwavering commitment to those around him.

Ross's love of sport runs deep-whether captaining cricket teams, playing football, or leading clubs as president and coach, his dedication has earned him life memberships and the respect of his peers. Yet, his story is not without hardship. From a childhood accident that took half a finger to supporting his wife Julianne through a life-threatening cerebral aneurysm, Ross's resilience shines brightest when faced with adversity.

His community work extends beyond sport, notably establishing an inclusive cricket program for children with disabilities, exemplifying his belief that sport is a powerful vehicle for connection and growth.

Through every challenge and achievement, Ross lives by a philosophy of honesty, effort, and gratitude. His journey from humble beginnings to a trusted leader and beloved community figure inspires us all to embrace life's twists, work hard, and give back generously.

About the Author

It might be said that the expression "Jack of all trades and master of none" is an apt description of Peter J Snow OAM.

He abandoned pursuit of an engineering degree and accounting qualifications but his efforts will leave an extraordinary legacy.

He attributes this to the training, skills and self-confidence he gained through membership of JCI (formerly known as Jaycees International) after joining Fremantle Jaycees in 1970.

Obstacles encountered dented (but certainly not overwhelmed) his positive approach and desire to help and mentor others. His vision, entrepreneurial skills and contribution to his community over 70+ years (some of which are referred to in this book) have resulted in a myriad of awards.

International awards for programs developed or overseen by him include: national public relations; awards; fundraising; group collaboration; commercial education; and assistance to the handicapped.

Personal awards include: Voluntary Contribution to Western Australian Heritage; Honorary Tarheel of North Carolina; a Paul Harris fellowship from Rotary; and Community Torchbearer for the Sydney 2000 Olympics.

In addition to being recognised as Outstanding Senator of JCI, Outstanding National Officer and one of the World's Inspiring Jaycees, he was Australian Jaycees (JCIA) first Ambassador in Western Australia and one of the state's Five Outstanding Young Australians.

Along with a JCI Senatorship, he holds life memberships of 8 community or sporting organisations and was awarded an Order of Australia Medal for his contribution to the Australian community. In 2025 he was awarded Life Membership of JCIA.
