Coaching Bio

I am currently playing 1st Grade Women’s Cricket for Sandgate Redcliffe District Cricket Club. I've had the opportunity to represent Queensland in underage National Championships for both Under 15's and Under 19's, where I tested my skills against some of the best athletes in the country. Drawing from these valuable experiences, I have incorporated the knowledge gained into coaching various teams, and I aim to apply this expertise to work with athletes in smaller groups, one-on-one, or online.

I started playing cricket at the age of 13, and I am a huge advocate for encouraging younger kids to play and enjoy the game we all love. My coaching style draws heavily from my firsthand experiences with the challenges I've faced myself, enabling me to address areas where younger athletes may need assistance. I also encourage athletes to attempt self-coaching initially, stepping in to provide clarity as needed. This approach allows athletes to develop their problem-solving skills independently, particularly during moments when I may not be readily available, such as during a game. As a coach, witnessing my athletes continually improve and dedicate themselves to something they love brings me immense satisfaction, and I take pride in nurturing this positive relationship with the sport. I've garnered experience from a variety of coaches across different representative teams I've been a part of, whether it be for Queensland or during my time playing in Adelaide for the Adelaide Premier League (APL) and the Brisbane Premier League (BPL). Additionally, I am beginning to integrate the skills I'm acquiring at university into my coaching methodology. Currently pursuing a Bachelor's degree in Sport and Exercise Science, I aim to apply these newfound skills alongside my three years of coaching experience with both boys' and girls' school teams.
