Gabriel Hodgson

Dynamic and assertive Youth Soccer Referee with the Abbotsford Junior Soccer Association, recognized for enhancing game fairness and player safety. Demonstrated quick thinking and respectfulness in high-pressure situations, effectively mediating disputes and fostering a positive environment. Committed to continuous improvement through training and maintaining professionalism on and off the field.

Developed strong decision-making and conflict resolution skills in fast-paced, team-oriented environments. Known for maintaining fairness and clear communication under pressure. Looking to transition into continuing to teach youth in swim coaching, leveraging leadership and interpersonal skills.

I have played competitive level soccer, tennis and water polo both outside school and representing Holy Cross College over the last 4 years. I enjoy team sport as well as individual sport such as tennis. I have learned to work well with others and also autonomously.

I learned to swim with Carlile Swimming at Five Dock when I was young and moved my way up to Swim Squad at Leichhardt Aquatic Centre for many years. I am a strong swimmer and believe it to be an important part of every young Australian's life. I am grateful my parents gave me the opportunity to learn to swim through formal lessons and I hope to share this passion with other young people.
