I am very excited to take on this role and endeavor to enhance our high performance program. We have many talented athletes in Australia and I truly believe that with a carefully planned and implemented strategy we can become truly competitive on the World Judo circuit.

The JFA is extremely fortunate to have recruited Maria to the Technical Director position. To be able to appoint an excellent candidate from within our own organisation, who has the credibility, skills and experience is truly fantastic. I know that our community will welcome this appointment.
