Helping Queensland Athletes Dream Twice

Dream Twice connects Queensland businesses with QAS-supported athletes seeking flexible, paid employment opportunities that work alongside the demands of high performance support.

What is Dream Twice?

Dream Twice is the QAS’s athlete employment and career development program, designed to help athletes build meaningful careers alongside their sporting ambitions.

The program partners with businesses that understand the unique demands of high performance sport and are willing to offer flexible employment opportunities that allow athletes to thrive both professionally and athletically.

Inspired by the idea of helping athletes pursue their ‘second dream’, Dream Twice connects employers with talented individuals who bring resilience, discipline and a high performance mindset to the workplace.

Why it matters

Elite athletes spend years developing skills that extend far beyond the sporting arena. Through training, competition and high performance environments, they build capabilities that make them valuable contributors in the workplace.

Athletes often bring:

  • strong work ethic and accountability
  • leadership and teamwork skills
  • time management and adaptability
  • resilience under pressure
  • goal-oriented thinking
  • a commitment to continuous improvement.

For Businesses

Dream Twice provides access to highly motivated individuals who bring a unique combination of discipline, resilience and performance-focused thinking. By becoming a partner, your organisation can support Queensland athletes while benefiting from diverse talent, fresh perspectives and a workforce committed to achieving results.
