Coach Grace

The youngest in our coaching team Grace brings her own experiences of the My Athletix program to our young athletes. Grace’s athletic journey started at the age of 4 here at My Athletix!! Now 16, Grace is a very capable all round athlete and still very much loves the sport of athletics! Here passion for athletics was further enhanced from her trip to the Paris Olympics where she celebrated her 16th birthday and cheered on her idols!

Grace is a talented athlete and has achieved numerous track and field athletic achievements at regional and state level. Her athletic journey started as a thrower but more recently her focus has been on sprints (100m 200m). Grace now trains at Griffith University as part of Ignition Athletics Team.

Without a doubt the My Athletix Program helped development and nurture her athletic skills and fitness from a young age, which has allowed Grace to develop into a very physically and socially confident and capable young woman, which is displayed both on and off the track.

We are proud of Grace’s achievements so far, and wish her the greatest of luck on her continued athletic journey.
