Bridie Kean Supports Sport for Women Day
Sport has given me the opportunity to work relentlessly for what I want to get, to meet and travel the world with some of the best people in the world, to be healthy and fit and to gain satisfaction when I know I’ve done all I can to be the best I can be.
Not only have these opportunities helped on the court, they transfer over into life and for that reason I support Sport for Women Day because I believe all women deserve the opportunity to experience what sport can do for them in life.. whether it be competitive or for fun!
