What people are saying
We would like to express our sincere gratitude to RDK for the incredible time, effort, and dedication invested in hosting us during our recent sports tour across various prestigious colleges and high schools in the USA. The opportunity to tour such impressive sports facilities and experience first-hand the outstanding programs you lead was invaluable to us.
The insights shared and the warmth with which we were received greatly enriched our journey, providing both inspiration and knowledge that will surely enhance our future endeavours. We are genuinely excited about the potential for continued collaboration, as we look forward to exploring opportunities that align with our master plan and elevate our programs to the next level. Thank you once again for your exceptional hospitality and the invaluable experiences.
Tyren Montebruno
Director of Sport, St Michael's Grammar School
We wanted to reach out and express our gratitude for the incredible USA study tour you organised. The learning and connections gained on this trip were invaluable, providing us with insights and access that have broadened our understanding and vision. Meeting with leaders from some of the largest and most influential sporting organisations globally was truly inspiring, and the opportunities to explore their operations gave us firsthand knowledge of best practices at the highest level.
The private tours and tickets to world-class events, including the NBA and NFL games, were a highlight. Visiting renowned venues associated with these organisations added a unique perspective that complemented the networking opportunities and brought the experience full circle. It’s clear that the connections RDK has fostered over the years make these trips not only beneficial but truly exceptional in terms of access and insight. Thank you once again for organising such a valuable experience for us. Looking forward to leveraging these insights in our work and hopefully reconnecting with some of the contacts we made along the way.

I had the opportunity to travel to the USA on an RDK Sports International Tour and I’m so glad I made the investment in my personal and professional development. RDK Sports International and their connections in the US College and professional sporting landscape enabled me to connect and build relationships with High Performance Staff in a variety of different environments.
From Colleges to Pro Teams, the networking opportunities I received will be extremely valuable in years to come with my current role. The ability to visit a variety of world class facilities was also extremely helpful and provided great insights and information that I hope to use to our advantage in the design of our High Performance Facility. I can’t recommend these tours enough.
