THROW BACK: Sports Parent Geni O'Keeffe- "It’s the Whole Family’s Journey”

Gareth Turnbull

Geni is a mum to Poppy. A 17 year old talented football player, currently with our Melbourne Victory A league women’s squad as a youth development contracted player. UPDATE - Now a professional contact in Sept 2025.

This is a great conversation about navigating the challenges of the professional level as a teenage athlete, relocating the family to access better opportunities, the challenges of balancing education and sporting commitments and much more.

Geni is a sporting parent who is finding solutions to the daily challenges of having a high-performing, talented youth athlete in the house, which we know resonates with a large part of our audience. 

There’s plenty to get out of this episode.

OK, Let's go!
