how dedication and persistence pays off with aussie footballer emily gielnik
Manage episode 439380226 series 2971802
Emily Gielnik has played more than 50 games for the Matildas, and counting.
It’s a career that’s so far included an Olympic Games and a FIFA World Cup.
But her journey into that side was far from the textbook. In fact it was a school camp at the Australian Institute of Sport that started her footballing career, when her PE teacher asked if she could join in on a training session with the Matildas.
Fast forward and Emily made her debut with the Brisbane Roar at age 18.
And then with the Australian Under-19s, where she scored a hat-trick on debut, and eventually with the Tillies a year later.
After an extensive career around the world, Emily is back scoring goals at the Melbourne Victory. In her spare time she works with teammate Chloe Logarzo running Future Baller, clinics designed to equip young girls with holistic football skills and mental strength.
This episode is brought to you by Monash IVF. The exclusive Fertility Wellness Partner for the Australian Athletes’ Alliance, providing athletes like Emily with reproductive education and care.
