Heart Of A Giant with Amy Parmenter
Welcome to season two of the Influence Unlocked podcast! To kick things off I’m chatting with a rising star of Australian sport. Amy Parmenter rose to prominence in the professional netball world in 2019 after joining the Giants and rounding out a stellar debut season by winning the Rising Star Award along with the Giants’ Player of the Year.
Amy is also dedicated to using her profile to support a good cause and started the Tie Dye Project a few years ago in honour of her Mum, who lost her battle with cancer in 2013. Last year during a visit to Westmead Children’s hospital she befriended fellow ‘netty nerd’ and cancer survivor, 14 year old Molly Croft and was inspired to tie dye more than 1,000 t-shirts in her backyard, selling every one and raising nearly $25,000 for the Sydney Children’s Hospital.
Listen in to find out how Amy has been occupying her time while the coronavirus pandemic has been wreaking havoc with professional sports, how she manages performance anxiety, and how setting goals like actually untying her shoelaces when she comes home have helped her reach her ultimate dreams.
