The editor’s desk

When tennis legends Andre Agassi and Steffi Graf occupied the pinnacle of their sport, it’s difficult to imagine their multiple grand slam wins could be topped. A longtime couple – the American with on-court showmanship and the elegant yet powerful German – they were among the most famous people in the world for a time. They now fund programs that change the lives of disadvantaged children, and that has given them their life’s greatest sense of achievement. The pair are humble and warm in a manner that not all athletes of their renown are; some current players should take note. ●

FIRST PERSON

““I am Hayden Cox” … and I’m a tech and design entrepreneur I didn’t know I wanted to be a designer until I

shaped my first surfboard at 15 during a week's work experience in Mona Vale. I always liked to deconstruct things and piece them together, but that was the moment it really clicked for me. I have always been inspired by the cycle of design, development and testing the product for myself. I didn't go to university until four years after finishing high school. It was mum who pushed me to study a business degree, but I quit after a year and a half into it. I found on-the-job experience and training to work better. I was happily learning along the way and it was giving me the direction I needed to start my own business. My mum and grandfather have a good do-ityourself attitude and it rubbed off. They inspired me to start my own company, Haydenshapes Surfboards, in 2006. You face a million failures until you get to the finish line, but I have learnt that being successful is about knowing how to get through those moments. I met my wife Danielle in 2007, and two years later we started working together. My career turning point happened when I created the FutureFlex technology surfboard, which gave me uniqueness over others. I set the tone and changed the landscape of the surf industry and won awards for my effort. Since the late ’60s, surfboards have traditionally been made with a wooden stringer down the centre of the board. I removed that stringer and replaced it with a patented parabolic carbon fibre frame. You get the ultimate speed as a result and it gives the surfer a great experience. When Westpac approached me to be the first Australian designer to create their pay wear accessories, I was thrilled to take on the job. I design pay and tap items that you wear and it got me thinking about how I could change the landscape of how Australians shop – what if you didn't have to carry your debit and credit cards around any more? The range is called Centsitive Objects, with pins and waterproof wristbands so you can exercise, surf and swim wallet-free. ● ● westpac.com.au ● haydenshapes.com

t’s been 15 years since tennis champion and former world No. 1 Steffi Graf was last in Melbourne, and on her recent return – with husband Andre Agassi, who coached Grigor Dimitrov at the Australian Open – she reflected on the journey from the court on Rod Laver Arena to life beyond tennis. The power pair have won 30 grand slam events between them – put simply, they ruled the world tennis circuit at the tail end of the ’80s, ’90s and beyond. “I have so many great memories of Melbourne. I even remember playing at Kooyong,” says Graf, who won her first Australian Open in 1988 against American great Chris Evert. Agassi has fond memories of winning, too – taking out four Australian Open titles, his first in 1995 against Pete Sampras and his last in 2003 against Rainer Schuttler. “Melbourne always had a great vibe. I was here a

year ago with Longines and it’s so good to be in a city that really gets behind sport,” Agassi says. Graf and Agassi are celebrating 10 years as ambassadors with the iconic Swiss watchmaker, which has just opened its first Melbourne boutique and released 10 luxury Conquest VHP models in their honour. Globally, the 10 sets raised more than $US300,000 ($418,000), with proceeds going to their respective charities, the Andre Agassi Foundation and Graf’s Children for Tomorrow. Two were purchased by Australian buyers. “I don’t know what ambassadorship looks like but, for us, if it doesn’t inspire us on a very personal level, then it doesn’t interest us,” Agassi says. Agassi’s Foundation alone has opened more than 90 schools to help educate underprivileged kids in his home town of Las Vegas. He says being a world champion matters little compared to giving a child an opportunity to study.

“Looking back, it’s been a daunting journey starting the foundation and certainly an unpredictable one,” says Agassi, who dropped out of school in eighth grade to focus on his tennis career under the heavy rule of his father. “Building schools and seeing the lives it impacts is mind-blowing. “Despite what anyone thinks I have achieved, the process has done more for me than people might imagine. I get my daily motivations and inspiration from the kids. “They give me hope that no amount of winning on the tennis circuit could give.” Agassi says if he had his time again he wouldn’t play tennis at all but, since retiring from the sport in 2006, he has found a new passion as a coach. In 2017, he was asked to coach this year’s Australian Open champ Novak Djokovic. Continued p8

He’s now helping the Bulgarian-born Dimitrov, 27, who has holidayed with the Agassi-Graf clan in Atlanta and stayed at their home in Las Vegas. “When you play the game it’s heavy stress and no pressure, whereas coaching is all pressure and no stress,” he says. Graf, who is sitting beside him, adds: “Oh, it’s a little bit of stress.” The couple are at ease with one another during the interview at Crown Towers, sitting closely on a couch, surrounded by a spinning parade of PRtypes. Agassi occasionally places his hand on Graf’s knee when he begins answering on their behalf, but Graf is more than happy to enter the conversation. Graf has never been one for the spotlight, even when she was at the top of her game. The two-time Olympic champion and 22 grand slam event winner doesn’t boast about her victories but is grateful for the life it has given her.

Happily married for 17 years, the couple have two children – son Jaden Gil, 17, and daughter Jaz Elle, 15. “It was a relief to walk away from the game,” Graf says. “But, of course, I am thankful for the experiences, memories and what the sport gave me and I’m sitting here because of it. “Tennis is such an intense sport, physically and mentally. I was yearning for a more balanced life. I was ready for a new way of life when I retired.” Agassi says the couple gave up their own childhoods to later be rewarded with the privilege of being hands-on parents.

“We are lucky to have been there every step of the way for our kids,” Agassi says. Graf says: “It’s like everybody tells you, time flies and before you know it they’ve grown up. I cherish every moment. They’re great kids.” As the topic swings from family to fashion, Graf is in her element. That’s when Agassi reclines with his hands above his head and says, “I think I’ll stay out of this one”. “I love fashion,” Graf says. Agassi interjects: “Oh yeah, she’s totally Gucci and has all the labels.” Graf: “I am very in-tune. To me, a Stella McCartney dress is the ultimate perfection.”

Agassi, who dined with Italian fashion designer Giorgio Armani in the ’90s, admits he knew the name but not much about the man at the time. “Anyway, it’s all about Nike at home right now,” he says, looking at Graf, who shoots him a playful sideways expression. “Nike’s Off-White collaboration is what our kids are all about. That guy is killing it,” she says. The guy in question is creative director Virgil Abloh, who Agassi will certainly be hearing more of if their kids have their way. “They’re begging for that stuff,” says Graf of the cult sneaker. Agassi looks at her, and is happy to concede defeat on that one. ●

The mother of two, who started the chic label Viktoria & Woods 15 years ago, says a belt for contouring and pushing your sleeve up is all you need to carry off the look. “It just relaxes everything,” says Woods, who is known for her superfine knitwear, oversized trenches, angular shirting, wide-legged pant

Sustainability is a huge part of her ethical approach, too – but hardly for the sake of the buzzwords. “Sustainability has always been part of the brand. Using wool has many great sustainable attributes and been a huge focus for me,” she says. “We want purchases to be for a lifetime and that’s an important message we try to send to anyone who shops with us.” ●

he premise of Louisa Luna’s taut thriller is one that would terrify any parent. Single mum Jamie Brandt leaves her two daughters in her car for five minutes while she dashes into a suburban Kmart to buy a birthday present. When she returns, 10-year-old Kylie and her eight-year old sister, Bailey, have gone. So begins an engrossing mystery bulging with memorable characters. When the overstretched local police department struggles for leads, Jamie turns to unconventional bounty hunter Alice Vega, who has an impressive track record of finding abducted kids. Vega, in turn, links up with disgraced former local detective, Max Caplan (Cap), who sees the case as a chance to restore his reputation. Together they make the most entertaining crimefighting duo since Batman and Robin, as they dive

into the dark underbelly of the small Pennsylvanian town in desperate search for the missing girls. Initially wary of each other, Vega and Cap grow closer as they confront small-town criminals and local families with secrets to hide, all while trying to offer hope to the increasingly distraught Brandt. Through her grief, Brandt is horrified at being seen as a bad mother, even though a gnawing guilt eats away at her. Luna keeps the reader guessing, through no shortage of false leads and sensational

hether it was a few days of overindulging with family, eating every canape in sight at the office Christmas party or not letting any leftovers go untouched, sometimes the festive season can truly get the better of us. If you’re feeling puffy and lethargic, your comfy jeans are digging into your sides and vegetables are a thing of the past, it’s time to dust off your runners and get ready to bounce back from that blowout. The motto that I encourage all my 28ers to follow and the one that I live my life by is “progress, not perfection”. Too often we get caught up in trying to be 10/10 in all areas of life, but the reality is we aren’t perfect.

unhealthy meal is nothing but one missed workout or one unhealthy meal. It’s not the end of the world, just don’t make it a habit. So, if you need a few tips on how to get back on track, keep reading. DITCH THE GUILT & MOVE ON \ You can’t change

the past so don’t waste energy thinking about it when that energy can be used to move forward. Regretting what you ate isn’t going to burn any calories, so why bother? If I’ve had an indulgent day (OK, or week), I like to use the next day to motivate myself to set up for a great week ahead. I’ll get in a big workout in the morning, do some meal prep and plan out my week (workouts and meals) so, essentially, I’ll turn that negative into a positive. GET INTO AN ALL-OR-NOTHING MENTALITY \ I

see this all the time. People eat one bad meal or have one bad day and then throw in the towel. Eating one cookie does not mean you should finish the packet. If you dropped your phone and it cracked, you wouldn’t continue to throw it onto the floor until the screen was in a million pieces, would you?

MOVE YOUR BODY \ Exercising after a blowout can go one of two ways. You either feel full and tired and therefore every move is a struggle or you have heaps of extra energy and manage to power through. Whichever way it goes, I never regret sweating it out and always feels so much better after. It might really hurt, you might feel sluggish, and like you’ve gone so far backwards (you probably haven’t) but it will get that ball rolling and kickstart that positive momentum to get you back into a great routine. OVERCOMPENSATE \ I’m all for eating a little

cleaner the next day or week but please do not skip your meals or starve yourself to make up for unhealthy choices. Restrictive behaviours can often cause you to feel deprived, leading to another episode of overindulging and overeating, and this can then become a toxic cycle. Just stick to your healthy meal plan with three regular meals, drink lots of water and snack only if you’re actually hungry.

lethargic and probably pretty irritable. Aim for seven to eight hours of quality shut-eye to not only help you feel normal again but to make you less likely to reach for unhealthy foods as an energy boost. MAKE H2O YOUR GREATEST MATE \ Water is

your best friend when you’ve gone overboard on salt, sugar and fatty foods. Aim to consume two to three litres a day. SET A 28-DAY GOAL \ To maintain accountability and focus for a great four-week block that will guarantee you are well and truly back, set yourself a small, realistic and achievable 28-day goal. Even if you think you have a healthy relationship with food and a balanced approach to eating, binge eating and blowouts can still happen – you’re human, after all. If you can mindfully indulge in the things you love, you’ll never feel deprived or feel the urge to go overboard on whatever it is you think you’re missing out on. ●

EDUCATION & INNOVATION

Behind the Scenes

SUZIE HANNEB ERY

S

uzie Hannebery believes that you should never stop learning. So, two years ago, after spending most of her career as a science teacher, she took on an additional new role at Fintona as careers co-ordinator. She enjoys helping students work out their future study and career paths and organises a range of programs and activities that help students start to develop valuable workplace skills. WHAT SORT OF STUDENT WERE YOU?

LEIGH HENNINGHAM

I went to an independent girls’ school in Melbourne. I had a thirst for knowledge and enjoyed learning. I was a very diligent student. My favourite subjects were chemistry and biology – I found learning about the human body fascinating. WHAT DID YOU STUDY AFTER GRADUATING?

I left school and wasn’t quite sure what I wanted to do in my working life, so I studied what I enjoyed – and I did a bachelor of science. I then did a diploma in education and in 2017 I became a qualified careers practitioner. WHO INSPIRED YOU TO TEACH?

My father was a university lecturer and I had an uncle who was a principal and an aunty who was a primary school teacher. They were very passionate about being educators, so midway through my science degree I decided that I wanted to move into education, too. WHAT DO YOU ENJOY ABOUT WORKING AT FINTONA?

I joined Fintona in 2011. I’d always taught at large schools and wanted to teach in a smaller school that would give me more personal interactions with the staff and students. Fintona is a warm, welcoming and friendly community. The girls are keen to achieve and are highly motivated and the staff are very dedicated – we’re a real team!

S UZ I E H A N N E B E RY

through that. When I went through school there wasn’t as much careers support. There are so many more options now for young people and I love helping them research those. I still teach chemistry and love it, too.

RECEIVED?

The best piece of advice I was given at school, which I followed, was to study subjects that I enjoyed and that I was good at. If you enjoy something and you are good at it, you will do well.

WHAT DOES THE ROLE INVOLVE?

My main role is to inspire students and to motivate them to think about their future. So I organise events like careers nights and involve alumni who speak about their different roles. We also run a work experience program for all year 10 students. Our students will eventually be in a rapidly changing workplace and I encourage them to do volunteer programs and extra-curricular activities to help develop adaptable and transferable skills. It’s a varied role and I learn something new every day.

TELL US A LITTLE ABOUT YOUR FAMILY.

I have three children aged 21, 19 and 17. My husband is a lawyer who did science and law at university. My eldest is studying science with commerce, my 19-year-old is doing science with arts and my youngest daughter wants to study science and languages. I didn’t push them, but they have a passion for science, too. WHAT ARE YOUR INTERESTS?

WHAT ADVICE DO YOU GIVE STUDENTS TO TELL ME ABOUT BECOMING THE SCHOOL’S

PREPARE THEM FOR FUTURE CAREERS?

CAREERS CO-ORDINATOR.

I guide them by asking them a lot of questions and put them at the centre of the process. I encourage them to research any options they’re interested in to help them make their own decisions.

I’ve helped my own three children decide what direction they want to head in with study and it was an interesting experience to help them work

WHAT’S THE BEST CAREER ADVICE YOU

I love socialising with family and friends and walking my dog Magic, a King Charles Cavalier. I enjoy relaxing by spending time on the coast and I love travelling to new places – travel is part of learning in life. ● SARAH MARINOS IN PARTNERSHIP WITH

Set on about 1588 square metres, this home is surrounded by trees, garden and space, and the design takes full advantage of these lifestyle benefits. It would appeal to a family that likes backyard cricket and birdsong in the garden. A playground with a cubby immediately signals family appeal and this is reinforced by an endearing chook house and a well-structured and maintained kitchen garden. The weatherboard house is spacious with an easy-flow floor plan. The living, dining and kitchen area opens to two large covered decks offering great potential for entertaining family and friends, or just as places to relax in a sunny spot with a book. The interior is bright and contemporary in style, with timber floors throughout and plenty of natural light. The living, dining and kitchen zone is spacious. The kitchen has white cabinetry, a timber benchtop, stainless steel stove and a full-height corner pantry. As well as the open-plan area, there is also a formal lounge with wood-burning fire. Cleverly zoned, the main bedroom suite is at the rear of the house – well away from the children’s bedrooms. There is an en suite and walk-in wardrobe and the bedroom has double doors to one of the decks. Three children’s bedrooms, two with built-in wardrobes, share a family bathroom with shower over the bath. The house has a full-size fitted laundry, ducted heating and cooling, two garden sheds and a double carport. This stylish weatherboard is in an attractive and convenient location. Eltham has excellent private and state schools and both primary and high schools are just minutes

Dr. Tony Stubbs, Eye Surgeon, says that just about anyone can have their vision restored and be rid of their glasses for most of the time. And this is without the use of laser surgery. Dr Stubbs formerly at the Royal Victorian Eye Hospital who has worked with the Fred Hollows eye department at the Prince of Wales Hospital in Sydney, says he began his career through the inspiration of his father, Dr Maxwell Stubbs. “My father was a pioneer in cataract implant surgery from 1963! He has now passed away but some of his patients still come in for a check-up. Not only is this inspirational, it also demonstrates that good surgery outlasts the surgeon,� Dr Stubbs says. A specialist who helps people who have been advised they are unsuitable for laser surgery, Dr Stubbs is also committed to demonstrating that age, corneal distortion or astigmatism are no barriers to eliminating the need for glasses. One of my best moments was treating a 12-year-old girl who was struggling at school because of poor vision due to congenital cataracts even with the use of thick glasses. Now 10 years later, she still has 20/20 vision without glasses. That inspires me. “Seeing my patients’ bright smiles after surgery, as they stop squinting and can read without glasses, is definitely the best part of my job.� No referral is needed and no out-of-pocket expenses are incurred for an assessment to enable all options available to be considered.
