How many years have you played lacrosse?

5

What got you started in lacrosse?

My mum played for England and she introduced me to the sport, and I began to love it and wanted to be just like her and represent my country.

Who is your favourite athlete and why?

Jen Adams. She is so talented, yet humble, she is an inspiration to anyone who wanted to play lacrosse and excel at it.

Describe your playing style in 3 words.

Quick, simple, explosive.

Have you had any injuries?

I broke my finger in the 2011 Under 17 Grand Final.

What is your favourite sports movie and why?

Coach Carter. It shows the impact of a sport and how it can change your life.

What is your favourite quote?

"Whatever you are, be a good one."

What was the best advice you were given?

Play the game moment by moment, it's those little moments that add up and enable you to take control of every one of them.

Do you have any unique game day routines?

I always wear a sweatband on my left wrist and I never do my shoe laces up tightly until just before I am about to walk on the field.

Favourite lacrosse memory.

Making the 2011 Under 19 Australian Team and being named to the All- World Team.

What would be your ultimate lacrosse achievement?

To play for the Senior Australian Team and go to college in the US.

What do you love about NLLC?

The support that comes from the club and the family Newport has established between all the players. Especially the 2011 State League team, we moulded together, and ultimately it won us the premiership.
