A more realistic outcome is early burnout, loss of motivation and potential mental health issues in later life.

Since 2008 we’ve seen a 60% surge in sporting injuries among under 14s. This is twice that of any other age group.

We’ve talked with the experts to discover how to maintain Kiwi kids’ sporting balance, and how you can help them reach their potential:

Hi - This is a RE-POST in the hope that someone could please come forward...I have photos this time as well. Many thanks!


I had a small car accident with another car at Countdown, Fenton Street last Sunday (26/6)... There were quite a few on-lookers at the time of the accident, so I would greatly appreciate if any witnesses could come forward.

My Insurance Company (AA) would like to investigate further, as it may not 'actually' have been my fault (even though I was backing at the time).


I have a red Mazda and I personally believe the blue Subaru didn't see me as I was backing out and drove straight into the back of my car. They didn't stop immediately (as I did) either, as there are marks all along their passenger side (as you can see in the photos).

I would really appreciate hearing from anyone who can help.



Many thanks

Ingrid
