Meeting Serena Williams at the Berlei photo shoot

My Berlei experience...

I met four-time gold medallist Serena Williams at a photo shoot for Berlei bras in Melbourne last year, along with fellow Canberra Olympian Lauren Wells and Aussie rugby sevens player Tiana Penitani.

One of the things that impressed me the most about Serena was that despite having won millions of dollars in prizemoney and 22 major tennis titles, she also valued her Olympic titles.

She said that being a tennis player she didn't grow up and train thinking of winning medals, but when she won her Olympic medals it was something she holds so dearly to her. 

That's the dream I'm chasing. Olympic Gold.
