One month in and Kate Shimmin has seamlessly adjusted to life as a Sunshine Coast Lightning athlete, embracing the people, facilities and, of course, the new locale.
The defender has already shown leadership attributes while adjusting to the dynamic of the new group and has proven to be a solid addition to Lightning’s 2021 squad.
“What I’m loving about Lightning is the level of professionalism that this team has,” she said.
“The girls are striving to be better every day, not just on the court but off the court as well – it’s an empowering environment to be around.
“I am so lucky to be here and can’t wait to see what this team can do in 2021.”
The sea change is also suiting Shimmin, keeping her grounded in between the demanding pre-season training sessions.
