When Nicola McDermott was 8 years old, she had a desire to one day be an international High Jumper. After trying her hand at a large number of sports she found herself at Little A's and the already quite tall 8 year old felt right at home. She discovered early on that no woman in australia had ever jumped over 2 metres and that mark quickly became the dream. At 24 years old, the dream is now a working reality, which is hardly surprising when you come to appreciate the determination, focus and self belief that Nicola possesses. For the past 10 years she has equalled or improved her high jump PB each and every year. On the 18th of April 2021 at the National Champs she jumped 2 metres to become the first Australian woman to soar that high. She would go on to break the Australian Record again at the Olympics where she cleared 2.02m and finished with a Silver medal. McDermott captured the attention of the world in Tokyo, her unique approach to jumping includes journalling and rating herself after every attempt and a deliberate pre-jump ritual where she looks to the sky, starts the slow clap, yells COME ON and smiles the biggest smile that just fills everyone watching with joy. That smile, the journal and her devout faith are 3 constants that McDermott has with her at all times. The World Record currently stands at 2.09m and no one has seen a woman jump higher. I get the feeling that Nicola's faith and belief might just have us all witnessing something none of us have ever seen before in the near future.

Vanessa Low knows all too well that change can happen quickly and drastically. At the age of 15 while living in Germany she fell from a train platform, lost both her legs, and spent the next 5 months in hospital fighting for her life. When she woke from her coma the future she had planned for herself had evaporated, the confident sporting teenager was faced with massive uncertainty and fears that could have caused her to retreat from her life and shelve her dreams. But Vanessa did none of those things, she discovered paralympic sport and she thrived. Vanessa incredibly found "the beauty within the change", and her athletics career took off. She has competed at 3 Paralympics, 2012 and 2016 where she represented her native Germany before making a shift to represent Australia at Tokyo 2020 after marrying Aussie paralympic gold medallist Scott Reardon. In Rio Low won Gold in the Long Jump and Silver in the 100m. In Tokyo she had us glued to our TVs, Low was unstoppable in the Long Jump, breaking the world record three times in just over one hour to win the gold medal. Vanessa is an inspirational human, her story is phenomenal and her courage is breathtaking, she speaks about adversity as being an opportunity and she has absolutely made the most of her opportunities to date.

Sabrina Frederick is a force on and off the AFLW field. She is a fierce competitor and a ruthless fighter, skills that she picked up as a kid in country WA, after moving across the world with her family from Brighton, England at just 7 years old. But she found her place on the footy field playing with the boys before joining a women's team at the tender age of 14. Fast forward a few years and Frederick was one of the inagural marquee signings for the Brisbane Lions in Season 1 of AFLW. That season saw her named an AFLW rising star, and in the All-Australian team. A move to Melbourne to play for Richmond in 2020 and a win on the popular reality show SAS Australia has seen Frederick's profile grow and she is passionate about using that profile to help others who face adversity and experience inequality. Sabrina is about to start AFLW season 6 with Collingwood, a new start, a new club and a new challenge.

Gretel Bueta (formerly Gretel Tippett) is an incredible athlete. Since making her WNBL debut in 2010 at the age of 17 she has packed in plenty of highlights.
