Winds of change suiting Australia
Australia women's rugby player Kate Porter writes about what's been happening in the game Down Under since the Wallaroos finished third at the Women's Rugby World Cup.
Q & A
Greatest sporting achievement: Playing for Australia at two World Cups
Greatest achievement off the field: Being commissioned as an Officer in the Australian Defence Force
Who is your sporting heroine? Norma Plummer, I think she’s pretty cool
How many hours per week to you train/exercise? 18 hours during the season, 8 – 12 hours off season
What kind of diet or nutrition plan are you on? Just to eat a healthy and have a balanced diet. A bit of a cliché, but its what makes my body feel strong and healthy without craving chocolate
What do you love about your sport? The passion required to play it. It takes a physically and mentally strong woman to play Rugby Union.
If you could change something about your sport, what would it be? The stigma behind it. Rugby Union is a great sport that can be enjoyed by all, no matter their size, age, shape or gender.
What motivates you? I love playing with a team full of inspirational girls. No matter what team I play for, each and every girl always impresses me with their courage, motivation and teamwork required to play 80minutes of a contact sport. I’ve seen 50kg girls bring down 120kg girls, only to get straight back up ready to do it again. You don’t get that sort of dedication in a game of tennis!
Do you have a profession outside of your sport? Yes (I need to make a living!!) I work for the Australian Defence Force and love it.
Three words that describe you: Tall Blonde Chick.
If I wanted to play your sport, what advice would you give me? Just to give it a go and don’t be scared.
