With the opportunity to join Team Australia as brakeman for pilot Ashleigh Werner, Tia’s unwavering competitive drive propels her into and through a breakout bobsleigh season

Tia uses her experience and knowledge to amplify her efforts in the bobsled, a different style of training and a new set of physical demands. “Everything they’re saying makes so much sense, it’s just about trusting in it.” , says Tia.

Coming into an already short season, there is a lot of work to be done. Tia won’t give any less than all her effort to her and the team’s success.
