And being his best meant Peter was prepared to go outside his comfort zone to set an example. That’s where the Invictus Games comes in.  
 
“Being part of the Invictus Games was something I never thought possible. Applying for the Games was out of my comfort zone but I just wanted to show my kids that no matter what challenges lie ahead, you can tackle it with your best effort and with no excuses.”  
 
It’s why the Friends and Family program has always been an integral part of the Invictus Games, as it acknowledges that the whole family serves when someone is in the military.  
 
Peter says of his family, “I am so lucky to have five beautiful kids – Georgia, Mason, Amber, Boston and Billie. Invictus allows me to encourage them to give everything they can, to try new things and that despite adversity they can still have purpose and a strong sense belonging.” 
 
Whether it’s playing sport at home with his kids, competing on the international stage, participating in local clubs or motivating kids at the school where he is Principal, Peter knows the power of sport extends beyond the physical benefits. And educating the next generation about resilience, life skills and gratitude is another way Peter continues to serve his community, while supporting his own wellbeing.
 
“Being the principal of my local school and part of the Invictus team allows me to support the development of students, helping them build the skills required to have successful and happy lives. These students help me appreciate life and assist me in being a better me, they make me grateful for what I have and encourage me to challenge myself and put into practice the things I ask from them daily.”
