Raised in Alice Springs, Coffey now lives and studies in Melbourne where the Victorian Institute of Sport Netballer has recently been picked up as a Melbourne Vixens training partner.

Coffey said: “I love to go home and hang with my family and spend as much time with my family as I can. That’s how I really stay connected with country in Alice Springs. But I also go to New South Wales and spend time with family there.

“Going home is such a refresh and when I come back I feel brand new. It really helps me mentally throughout the year to sustain that level. I think it’s really important and it really supports me to be the best athlete I can be.”
