I've played hockey since I was 4 years old and fell in love with the sport. Since a young age I immersed myself in all facets of it - playing, coaching, selecting and umpiring - and had a desire to be able to excel in every area. I attended university and studied a Bachelor in Exercise and Movement Science, all while further up-skilling myself as a local coach. During my degree, a job opportunity presented itself with Brisbane Women's Hockey Association as a Development Officer, and have formally worked in hockey since. I currently deliver coach courses with the FIH Academy, and teach certificates II & IV in Sports Coaching (Hockey) with TAFE QLD. I've coached multiple Brisbane and Queensland teams, gained national and international coaching qualifications and have been fortunate enough to travel Australia and internationally. Career highlights have been winning Gold at the U17 Mirnawan Cup in Malaysia with the U17 Australian All Stars, winning Gold U18 Nationals in 2024 & 2023, Gold at U13 Nationals in 2017, Silver at U18 Nationals in 2022, Bronze at U21 Nationals in 2022, Bronze at U15 Nationals in 2018 & 2021, attending the Oceania Cup as a participant in the FIH Level 3 & Coach Educator courses in 2019, being awarded the 2023 Hockey Queensland Pathway Coach of the Year, 2023 BWHA Most Promising Coach, 2019 Hockey Queensland Pathway Coach of The Year and last year attending the Hockey Australia Futures Camp, working with the junior national coaches.

Thanks Amy. I have a long way to go but after just one session I already feel I have learnt so much. Definitely going to book in some more sessions.
Amy has been a wonderful coach for my girls. She has a lovely, calm approach which the girls respond to. She listens to what the girls ask to work on and she is really supportive of their hockey journey. The girls feel much more confident going into their season having been mentored by Amy. Highly recommend.
Amy is amazing! Patient, kind, efficient and fantastic at explaining what is needed to make changes. Thanks Amy!
Amy was great, patient, knowledgeable and kind. She helped me build my skills and regain my confidence after not touching a stick for 15+ years. Would recommend.
Amy was brilliant with my Daughter. Amazing eye for detail and very good at explaining subtle changes that need to be made. Amy manages to share her knowledge very well and Isla really enjoys the time spent. Thanks Amy!!
