Tammy Howard - Netball
Australian Sports Commission
Self-belief and a high fitness level are two of the most important qualities that Tammy Howard said she brings to her netball umpiring. Perth-based Howard says a National Officiating Scholarship will take her that one step further, helping her to work harder and “take the important things from what everyone tells me to take me to a new level”. She hopes that new level will mean receiving her All Australian umpiring badge and one day umpiring at a Commonwealth Games or World Championship. Meanwhile, the 31-year-old also keeps busy as a real estate agent and says that “dealing with all sorts of people every day helps me to deal with different personalities of players and the way that they react to things on court”.
