- John_Cheffers abstract "Dr. John Cheffers (13 May 1936 in Melbourne, Australia – 28 October 2012) was the second Director of the Australian Institute of Sport. He succeeded Don Talbot as AIS Director in 1984 and stayed in the role until 1986. Ronald Harvey took over the directorship of the Institute after his departure.Cheffers was a Professor of Education and Coordinator of the Human Movement Program at Boston University and contributed a number of journal articles on sport and physical education.Cheffers first came to note as an athletics coach. His most successful athlete was Jean Roberts who won several Commonwealth Games silver and bronze in the Discus and Shot Put during the 1960s and 1970s as well as 13 national athletic championships in the Discus and Shot Put. Pam Telfer also won a national championship in the javelin under John's coaching.Anna Karner, who won several Australian shot put and discus titles in the 1970s, was also coached by John CheffersJohn also played four senior games with Carlton in the Victorian Football League in 1955, as well as being a fitness advisor to Hawthorn in the mid 1960s.In 1968 Cheffers became the head athletic coach for Zimbabwe, then called Rhodesia. His experiences coaching the multiracial team that was selected are detailed in his book A Wilderness of Spite: Rhodesia Denied. This team was denied entry to Mexico for the Olympics by the Mexican government, and was, de facto, banned from the Olympic Games at this point. Cheffers has a strong belief, as a result of this time, that politics should not interfere in sport. Mathias Kanda, Bernard Dzoma and Robson Mrombe are well known distance runners who John coached during 1968.In 1969 Cheffers was appointed head athletic coach for Papua New Guinea and led them to the third South Pacific Games in Port Moresby, New Guinea.Receiving his Masters of Education in 1970, and his Doctorate of Education in 1973, both from Temple University in Philadelphia, Cheffers moved north to Boston where he worked for Boston University. In 1972 Cheffers founded the Boston University School of Education’s Tuesday-Thursday Physical Education Program.Cheffers' work on violence in sports was featured in Sports Illustrated.Following his tenure at the Australian Institute of Sport, Cheffers returned to academia and was President of AIESEP (Association Internationale des Ecoles Superieures d'Education Physique) from 1984 to 1998.Cheffers died on 28 October 2012 while on a plane en route from San Francisco to Sydney. He is survived by his wife, Margaret, his four children, Paul, Mark, Leigh and Andrew, and 17 grandchildren.".
