This is Anna – A Star on the Rise!

PSA: we’ve found the next superstar on the rise! ✨ We were lucky enough to have an awesome chat with a special lady who’s showing us all how to kick major life #goals. She goes by Anna, or to her teammates, ‘Running Water’ – and this Grade 6 from Sacré-Cœur proves that there really is no age limit to owning your life passion!

We’ve all heard the saying that ‘practice makes perfect’. Well, Anna’s been living by that motto since the age of just 4 years old, when her love for soccer was first ignited by her Dad, Arthur. Anna’s passion for the sport has continued to move seriously forward year on year, to the point where she now trains three times a week for a game every weekend. What drives Anna’s love for soccer is that “it’s fun, I enjoy taking on players and getting past them. It’s a great feeling getting a goal, and definitely having time with my amazing team.”

We’re so inspired by the fact that Anna always gives it 100% – all in between school, homework, training for/competing in state-level Little Athletics, and other commitments. She works SO hard that she’s even broken the South Melbourne Athletics Club record for Javelin! That level of dedication is MEGA inspiring.
