A big congratulations to 20 year old Izzy Hindmarsh on playing her 100th NPLW game and 15 year old Grace Fenson on making her first-team debut in Belconnen United’s round 18 win over Majura FC. 👏⚽️
Both girls put in strong performances, with Izzy getting on the scoresheet and Gracie providing an assist. It capped off a pretty special day for Gracie, who also scored twice for the U18s earlier in the day, taking the midfielder’s tally to 27 goals for the season.
We’ve been fortunate to work with both girls individually over the past few years — Izzy 1–2 times a week for the past 18 months and Gracie 1–2 times a week for the past three years.
Over the last three months, they’ve also started training together in 2-on-1 sessions and it’s been great to see what that added dynamic has brought to both players. Training alongside another quality player creates different challenges — more competition, more decision-making, more opportunities to learn from each other and still plenty of individual feedback.
It’s a big part of why we love working with small groups of 2–6 players. Sessions stay individualised and focused on what each player needs, while adding the intensity, pressure and interaction that can be difficult to recreate when training alone.
Plenty more to come from these two. 💪⚽️
