Every athlete deserves a coach who believes in their potential.

Amanda – Founder & Head Coach

Amanda is the heart behind ALUMA Performance,  a program built to help young athletes believe in themselves, chase their goals, and grow through every stage of their netball journey.

With more than 25 years of experience across playing, leadership, and athlete development, Amanda brings both passion and purpose to the court. Her journey began as a determined country NSW player, progressing through junior and senior representative levels before competing in State League Competitions for Centre West, Riverina, and ACT. She’s also represented in Super League (Mixed & Ladies), Premier League Mixed, and national tournaments including Netfest, building invaluable experience in teamwork, resilience, and high-level performance.

Now, as a coach and mentor, Amanda’s mission is simple! To help every athlete discover their confidence, courage, and potential. Her coaching style blends technical skill development with mindset growth, creating an environment where athletes not only improve their game but also develop leadership, self-belief, and a genuine love for sport.

Amanda is furthering her expertise in coaching, nutrition, and sports performance to strengthen her holistic approach to athlete development, ensuring ALUMA athletes are supported both on and off the court.

Having coached across multiple regions and competition levels, Amanda has guided athletes from grassroots through to representative pathways — always leading with patience, purpose, and positivity.
