“It is such an honour to receive the award,” she said.
“Sport has always been a part of my life, and I have met the most amazing people along the way who have taught me so many incredible lessons.
“As a coach, manager and volunteer, you get to be a part of people’s lives and experience their highs, their lows, the challenges and sometimes the heartbreak of injury, performance disappointment or ill-health.
“Their trust and that bond is the ultimate compliment, and I am forever grateful for that.”
