I spent 15 years with the Kookaburras, winning Olympic, World Cup and Commonwealth golds, leading my country and being named the world’s best player.   But the toughest challenge of my career came before I played my first senior international.   I grew up in Rockhampton, a real country kid with the mentality of wanting to give everything a go.  I had a smooth journey through the junior ranks, making most state and national teams.   I was 16 when my parents took us down to Sydney for the 2000 Olympics and I was absolutely enthralled. It ignited this flame in me: I wanted to be an elite athlete and an Olympian. That was massive for me at the time.   I was a good player in the country but I wanted more. My mentality early on, of not wanting to just be good in Rocky, drove me in those early years of junior nationals.   I got the opportunity to move to Brisbane and the Queensland Academy of Sport hockey program when I finished year 12. I couldn’t wait....

“You’ve had a great career, what are you trying to prove?”

When I was young I played all the ‘tall people’ sports. Netball, basketball, touch.   And when I was eight, mum put my sister and me into karate to learn self-defence.    I was the more introverted of the two and when I was ten my sister went into a competition that I was too shy to enter. She came home with a huge trophy, almost as big as her, and I was very jealous.   It’s a little embarrassing that was part of my motivation to become better but from there I started to have okay results at the national level, got selected for Oceania events when I was 14, and the following year I went to the junior worlds. It kept going from there.   Mum was a single parent and we didn’t have heaps of money. On reflection, karate has provided an avenue to have a life that I wouldn’t have had the opportunity to otherwise.   For most of my career, I’ve been self-funded.
