Amelia is quietly spoken off the field, but dynamite on the field. She holds herself to high training standards and has her sights set on being the best player she can be. She is well known for her commitment to preparation and training, which is second to none.
Amelia is a young player who is part of the up and coming players that we are developing at North Shore. She brings a competitive nature and fierce contest to her football which inspires her more senior team mates.
At 15 years of age, Amelia played her first game of premier division football on the weekend. She was given a role to play for the team and for her own development, which was to work hard and compete with a senior Manly player to the best of her ability. Amelia, worked tirelessly for her team mates in the match and earned respect from the team in her first game.
“Amelia is a tireless worker on the field who is committed to the contest. She is loved by her team mates and is a wonderful addition to our squad. We rewarded her preparation and work ethic with selection and she repaid the team by matching it with a senior Manly player. The whole squad was immensely proud of her for this effort, which proved decisive in an historic win.” – Craig Tidemann, Women’s Premier Division Coach
