I'm aware that not everyone’s experience in elite sport is as welcoming and inclusive as it should be. I believe in leaving the world in a better place than when you entered it, and I want to drive a change in elite sport in making it a safe environment for all athletes.

Everyone has a right to feel safe and welcome and to be able to focus on performance. How can an athlete be expected to perform when they are not able to bring their whole selves into their sporting environment?

My experience has taught me the value of balance, resilience, and continuous improvement, which I'm eager to share and further cultivate through the Thrive with Program in Australian sport.
