Sydney Swans co-captain Adam Goodes talks exclusively to Swans TV about the importance of his education.

The Federal Department of Education, Employment and Workplace Relations is the match day partner for this Saturday's game against Port Adelaide, with their 'Learn, Earn, Legend' program aimed at encouraging young Indigenous Australians to stay at school, get that job and be a legend for themselves, their family and their community.

Goodes explains how completing his studies helped him gain confidence before entering the world of professional football with the Sydney Swans at the end of 1998.
