'It's opened up a heap of different pathways': Holmesglen-Saints Sports Program
Maddi Southam (25) discusses her newfound avenues into a career in sports thanks to the Holmesglen-Saints Double Diploma.
Published onThe course has just opened up a whole heap of different pathways. It’s been awesome just to see all the different avenues into sport that you don’t actually realise are there. I’ve played footy since I was 7, and to see how far women's footy has come and how many more cultures and other people are involved in sport now is really exciting.

I was a professional tennis player and coach in Japan for over 10 years, then when I came to Australia I wanted to continue to coach sports. I want to help kids get the best out of themselves, because I know how difficult high-performance sport is mentally. So a big part of the course for me is learning more about the psychology behind coaching.
