“A sponsor to an athlete is like a foot hold to a rock climber…. without them, it's a lot harder to reach the top!! Over the past 10 years, my personal sponsors have allowed me to concentrate full time on my sport. Their financial support has enabled me to seek and employ some of the best coaches and support staff in the world.
Some sponsors come and go, that's to be expected, but others stay around for the long haul and they are the REAL supporters of champions. We've all seen sponsor logos or advertisements on websites; however the sponsors listed below are more than just a logo, a product or company.
They are people who care and who help support the goals and dreams of others.
Most of my sponsors have been with me for years and added significantly towards my success on Bondi beach on the 25th of September 2000.
Many years ago, I had a dream to one day win an Olympic Gold Medal for Australia. These companies backed that dream and continue to support my new goals and dreams for the future.
Thanks to all those listed below and to the many others that are part of my journey."

"Hamilton has been the savior of my skin throughout my entire Beach Volleyball career.
They have been providing me with sunscreens and skincare products for an incredible 10 years. (I first approached them in October 1994!)
No order or request has ever been too hard for their friendly staff to supply.
I can honestly say, with absolutely no bias, that Hamilton Sunscreen is the BEST SUNSCREEN I HAVE EVER USED!!
My skin is testament to that.
As professional Beach Volleyball players, we're extra diligent about applying our sunscreen and guarding against melanomas. In fact, when we play in Brazil they laugh at how much and how often we apply. (They obviously don't have the same problems with the ozone layer that we have here in Australia!)
Thank you Hamilton, from the bottom of my heart, for your unwavering support and supply of product."
"An essential part of my uniform, Bolle sunglasses have supported me for over 13 years! They were, in fact, my first ever sponsor when I ventured out of the gym and onto the sand. They have been with me ever since and are a very generous supporter.
The best part is that my eyes are protected in all weather conditions.
"Ever since I've lived here on the Northern Beaches, New Image gym has been my preferred gym to work out in. Through 2 different owners, I found I was always welcomed with a smile.
It's got everything I need to keep my body in good shape for our rigorous trainings and competitions. It's also just a stones throw from the sand, so it's perfect!
Thanks guys, for helping me stay in shape."
