EPISODE 32: Jessica Trengove

Growing up in Naracoorte South Australia, Jess, sister Abby and brother Jack indulged in all sports. Abby was a state rower, at just 17 years old Jack was drafted to Melbourne Football Club and Jess set her sights on playing Netball for the Adelaide Thunderbirds, although still heavily involved in athletics.
