LAINEE HARRISON
1. How old are you and what are you currently studying?
I am 19 years old, and I am currently in my second year of studying Nuclear Medicine at the University of Newcastle.
2. What sports have you been involved with and with which clubs?
I’ve been playing Football since I was 4 years old, and the clubs I’ve been involved in were: Brindabella blues, All abilities, Monaro Panthers, Lake Macquarie Rosters, Wallsend Devils, and Rutherford dragons.
In Athletics, the clubs I have been involved in were: ACT little Athletics, Maitland little Athletics and Macquarie Hunter Little Athletics Club.
3. What made you change sports from athletics to Cerebral Palsy football?
I originally played football from aged 4, as I grew up in a football family and my parents met through football, plus all my sisters played football. Throughout my whole childhood I played football. When I was involved with the Cerebral Palsy Alliance Football Camps in Narrabeen under the expertise of Chris Pine who was an ex Pararoos player, I learnt a lot about football and he really helped me feel confident in playing with Cerebral Palsy.
