Hey, my name is Ethan Byloo, I'm the 1st Year Outreach Officer for Lads this year.
This is my first year with Lads Without Labels and I'm super keen to be a part of such an influential group of people this year. I am a second-year student studying a Bachelor of Science majoring in Psychology and a Bachelor of Sports Coaching majoring in Sports Science as a double degree. Growing up all over the place, I was born in Auckland but spent my early childhood in Valencia, Spain. I then moved back to Auckland until 2020 when I moved to Hawke's Bay to finish off High School at Lindisfarne College.
I am pretty crazy about sport and exercise - with rowing being my main sport rowing for the CURE Boating Club in Kaiapoi. When I'm not training I love to be in the kitchen or finding new recipes for me to try.
I wanted to join Lads as I saw the sheer impact that these guys are able to make which I think a lot of schools/universities aren't as lucky to have access to. For me to now be one of those people who makes an impact means so much as I feel that I can contribute positively to men’s mental health in my community, which is something I hold as very important.
