Today we’re introducing you to 19-year-old Alice Coakley!
Alice has been working for Sports Fever since August 2009 and as well as working in our Subiaco store she competes in state netball.
“I first got involved in netball in year two, when I started playing Netta for Rosalie Primary School down at Matthews Netball Centre,” Alice says.
“My greatest sporting achievement within netball would be playing in the Australian Netball League and being on a WAIS scholarship for netball. I still see some of my younger years as important achievements when I was playing State Soccer, netball and being in the Development WAIS Program for Rowing as well - it pushed me to choose the one sport and fully commit to it.”
At the moment Alice is in pre-season with WAIS, but she still commits plenty of time to her sport and her fitness. “Monday is either an on court session or conditioning, Tuesday morning weights and ball work, Wednesday conditioning as well as on court work, Thursday morning weights and ball work, Friday morning swim session, Saturday morning conditioning and weights,” she says.
“As pre-season winds up we continue our training with WAIS as well as training with our Club team in the State League. Later in the year we also have additional training with State Teams and Australian Netball League.”
Make sure you say hi to Alice when you’re next in the store and if anyone has any questions about netball gear, don’t hesitate to give her a call. We also wish her all the best with the upcoming season.
