The Team
Matt Horsnell
has been my personal coach since I was 10 years old. He has shaped me from a girl who jumped in school carnivals to a world class high jumper. Based on the Central Coast of NSW, we have been able to train together almost every day for the last 17 years. Matt specialises in overseeing the whole program for my strength, power and jumping technique. His leadership and encouragement have allowed me to become the person and athlete I am today.
Brett Doring
has been my physiotherapist, working on not only preventing injury, but using his knowledge to coordinate my warm up and recovery programs to gain strength. When home on the Central Coast, I am known to be at one of the locations of COASTSPORT every week day, to the point most people believe I work there in some capacity. Overseas Brett also helps coordinate via online platforms to keep me in the best shape for jumping.
Leigh-Anne McBride
has been my personal exercise physiologist and Pilates instructor since 2019. Working within the COASTSPORT team, she has tailored my weekly programs to target my imbalances and weaknesses. Leigh also has a big position in working my range of motion and flexibility to help maintain my position over the high jump bar!
Nicolai Morris
has been a valuable asset to my team, providing Strength and Conditioning programs specifically tailored to the weaknesses that Brett, Leigh and Matt discover every month. Her wisdom in programming has been phenomenal to our team, that even when based in another state or country, our communication is as if she is physically there. Nic is also a leader in current knowledge of S&C and accredited in Gymnastics coaching, which has been implemented in my program for the upcoming 2024 season.
Puma
Puma is an international sportswear company with a HQ in Germany. They have manufactured the highest quality athletic shoes and uniforms for over 70 years. In 2019 I got my first contract with Puma, which allowed to become a professional athlete, focussing on bettering my skills with the help of their equipment and financial support. It is a privilege to jump in a special ‘Nicola’ spike every competition and represent their brand on my heart in everything I do.
COASTSPORT
COASTSPORT is a world class allied health and sports medicine service located on the Central Coast. Since 2018 the team at COASTSPORT have been my personal sponsor in physiotherapy and exercise physiology. They have kept me injury free in my performances and competition when training at home on the Central Coast.
NSWIS
NSWIS has a vision to provide a world leading sporting organisation and ensure NSW athletes are consistently representing Australia and winning medals at major events. They have provided services and support to me since 2019, directing me to the best options whilst basing on the Central Coast.
Athletics Australia
Athletics Australia is the national body of athletics that has supported my development and professional career as a High Jump athlete. Throughout their many services and advisory knowledge, they have helped shape me into the athlete I am today.
