She is deeply passionate about supporting individuals to reach their potential and believes strongly in the power of sport as a catalyst for positive societal change, particularly in how we understand, discuss and support mental health.
We talked about the impact sport can have on young players and how it can change where you go in terms of college and careers.
Jennie also spoke about the role of the GPA, the power of bringing female and male players together, and why it is so important to support our players on and off the field.
