Tayla grew up on a farm in country south Australia, about 2 hours north of Adealide. She spent her free time participating in numerous sports, with calisthenics and basketball her chosen sports from an early age. She quickly became involved in any sport she was allowed to; ranging from netball to basketball, tennis softball or touch rugby and spent a lot of her time on the river involved in all watersports! From the age of 15 Tayla had to select just the one sport where she chose netball, which quickly took up most of her time outside of school. 

 

Tayla has been involved with South Australian underage netball teams, winning 3 gold, 1 silver and 1 bronze medal. She has been part of the Australian Centre of Excellence squads as well as the U21 Youth World Cup squad, and more recently the Australian Fast 5 squad. Tayla has been in the Adelaide Thunderbirds squad for 5 years now and most recently became a premiership player in 2023. These opportunities have provided her with experiences and knowledge that she is keen to pass on. 

 

In her spare time Tayla loves trialling new brunch places and is a big coffee lover! She often likes spending her spare time relaxing or catching up with family and friends. Tayla loves keeping fit and her favourite type of training is definitely strength focused, although she is finding a love for cross training at the moment! 

 

Taylas passion for sports from an early age ultimately led her to follow a career in the field. Tayla chose to study at the University of South Australia where she completed a double degree with a Bachelor of Exercise and Sport Science and Nutrition and Food Sciences. In her final year of study Tayla completed her internship with the Adelaide Crows Football Club AFLW team, where she first met Belle! Tayla finished her University degrees at the end of 2022 and soon began working with Belle after this. 

 

With Taylas personal involvement in elite netball, it has inspired her to share her knowledge and experience with aspiring athletes and the general population. After meeting Belle, Tayla quickly worked out they share at lot of the same principles they want to pass onto their clients. Creating healthy habits that are sustainable and enjoyable long term, rather than looking for a quick fix that cant be maintained.
