If you dont know Arthur Little, chances are that one day you will. This guy is probably one of the most well liked guys on the planet and makes it his mission to share his story and get to know every person whose path he crosses. Artys trumped both footy codes, playing union for the Waratahs, Australian Sevens and Randwick DRUFC as well as the Illawarra Steelers, Canberra Raiders and WestTigers. His footy career has spanned the globe from Italy to Ireland, Hong Kong to France, but hes still the same humble Wiradjuri and Kamilaroi man who was brought up in Wagga Wagga, New South Wales, Australia. For the past five years, Arthurs worked with AIME as a Relationship Manager and more recently, as a National Presenter. These days he brings his worldwide network to shine a light on something so close to his heart: Indigenous success. Heres a bit of reflection on National Hoodie Day from Arty: “The hoodie to me isn’t just a cool jumper that keeps me warm when it’s cold. It stands for a lifetime of positive change that I believe in. It stands for Indigenous success. It stands for the connection between so many people, not only across our beautiful country, but also around the globe, who are sending a message that if you believe, you can and will achieve. No matter what your background or where you’ve come from, if you truly have faith and are determined to make it work, then you can connect with anyone and be successful at anything you put your mind to. Sometimes our head and heart seem miles apart, even though they are so close. When they come together, that’s when the magic happens. My magic is connecting with and inspiring Indigenous kids across the country to be the best they can be, reach their full potential and land the dream job that they’ve always wanted. Through my passion with AIME, I have been able to link a lot of high profile friends across the globe to share in our success, supporting our Indigenous kids through high school and on to uni, further education, or full time employment.” Grab an AIME hoodie and celebrate Indigenous success: aimementoring/hoodieday14 #hoodieday14 #AIMEonthemap
