We are incredibly proud to announce that South Australian football and media identity Andrew “Jars” Jarman is joining the Jupiter Supports team as a mentor!
Jars brings a lifetime of experience in leadership, teamwork, resilience and bringing out the best in people. His extraordinary football career includes 110 games for the Adelaide Crows, two Magarey Medals, two SANFL premierships, five Fos Williams Medals and selection in both the North Adelaide Team of the Century and the Adelaide Crows Team of the Decade. He is also a member of the South Australian Football Hall of Fame.
But this mentorship is about far more than football or media.
Jars will work individually with participants to identify what is important to them, determine their future goals and develop the confidence and practical skills needed to move towards them.
Depending on each person’s interests, strengths and support needs, mentoring may focus on:
• Exploring employment, volunteering or further education goals
• Preparing for interviews and learning how to present yourself confidently
• Developing communication and social skills
• Building friendships and becoming more socially connected
• Strengthening teamwork, leadership and decision making skills
• Establishing routines, motivation and personal accountability
• Learning how to manage challenges, feedback and setbacks
• Building confidence to participate in sport, work and the broader community
• Discovering personal strengths, interests and a stronger sense of direction
Jars has spent decades working with people from different backgrounds, personalities and levels of ability. As both a player and coach, he has supported individuals to recognise their strengths, work as part of a team, overcome disappointment and continue moving forward.
For our participants, this means having an experienced and relatable mentor who will listen, encourage them and help turn their ideas into realistic, achievable steps.
This is person led mentoring. It is not about telling someone what their future should look like it is about helping them discover what they want for themselves and building the skills, confidence and connections to pursue it.
Whether someone’s goal is to find employment, volunteer, join a sporting club, develop friendships, become more confident in social situations or take on greater responsibility in their life, Jars will be there to guide and support them.
Welcome to Jupiter Supports, Jars. We are thrilled to have you on our team and excited about the opportunities this mentorship will create for our participants.
