Journey from the stands to sideline โ
๏ธ
Exactly a year ago, I was a fan in the Yellow Fever, reminiscing on what had been the best season I had ever experienced supporting a team in any sport. I didn't think it could get much better. At exactly 12:51pm on Monday 26th of August, 2024, it got better. So much better.
I started this journey back in 2020, purely as a means to try get my head right, during a time where my mental health was at an all time low. I never thought it would ever lead me to an opportunity to work with a professional sports club, let alone the club I have supported since it's inception. As you could imagine, this was probably the easiest yes of my entire life.
Fast forward to now. I have been sideline doing what I love at 14 A-League games, hearing the mighty voice of my closest friends amongst the nix faithful behind me, working alongside some of the most talented and amazing people. While on the pitch, it wasn't what we had all hoped, the fact that I got to live out my photography dream for my boyhood club makes this the best season I've ever experienced, without a shadow of doubt.
To Cam, Ryan, Ben, Pri, Emma, Mark, and the entire team that I've had a pleasure of working with and getting to know over the last 6 months, thank you. Thank you for believing in me. Thank you for taking a chance on me. Thank you for allowing me to live out my wildest dreams on the biggest stage of all.
No matter what happens next season, 24/25 will be one that I will never, ever forget ๐๐๐ค
