02: Holyee Jackson's BMX Dream

Natalie Cook Season 1 Episode 2

In this episode, we meet Holyee-Ann Jackson, a 14-year-old BMX sensation from Ipswich, Australia. Holyee’s incredible journey in the world of BMX, starting at just three years old, is truly inspirational.

We explore her impressive accomplishments, from local competitions to representing her country at the 2022 BMX Racing World Championships in France. Holyee’s unwavering dedication and rigorous training are clear indicators of her commitment to excelling in BMX.

Her vision goes beyond personal success, aiming to inspire other young athletes to pursue their dreams with passion. We also hear from her parents, Angela and David, who share their experience of supporting her in this demanding journey.

And then there’s Michael Devlin, a generous sponsor, who explains why supporting athletes like Holyee is not only rewarding but also vital. Money plays a significant role in an athlete's ability to compete in international events that can influence Olympic selection.

This episode is a testament to the power of passion, dedication, and the importance of support from family and sponsors. As Holyee looks ahead to future championships and dreams of the Olympics, her journey continues to inspire.

In this conversation, Chatta-Box Media’s Sarah Maxwell sits down with Holyee, David, Angela and Michael and discuss:

  • The challenges in balancing training, competition schedules, personal life; shedding light on the sacrifices Holyee makes to pursue her passion.
  • Shares with listeners the sacrifices they all make financially to make Holyee’s dreams a reality and how crucial their sponsor, Michael is to Holyee’s success.
  • Shed light on Holyee’s ultimate goal for the 2028 Los Angeles Olympics, with an eye on the 2032 Brisbane Olympics
