Abbey
Holmes

7AFL Commentator, AFLW Premiership Player & Television Presenter

Profile

Abbey Holmes loves all things sport, adventure, and travel and is wild about the Outback.

Abbey's passions take her all over the country. She has been seen pounding the pavement as a Real Estate Agent, kicking goals on and off the footy field (playing and commentating for Channel 7 and Triple M), hosting her own adventure TV and content series starring in the two seasons of Australian Survivor on Channel 10 and speaking at events.

Her commitment to outstanding professionalism, down-to-earth communication, hard work and can-do attitude have established her reputation as a leader, mentor, and recognized public figure.

Originally from South Australia, but has lived all over the country over the last 10 years – the multitalented sports star has always overachieved from a young age. She represented Australia, South Australia and the Northern Territory in Netball, but really found her niche when she began playing football competitively in the NTFL.

Abbey was first launched into the media spotlight after becoming the first Female Australian Rules Footballer to kick 100+ goals in an established women’s league season. This is an achievement that Abbey is very proud of, however, she is prouder of the attention and interest that this achievement brought to women’s football around the country at a time of need.

Since then, she has accepted invitations to play in a number of charity football matches, the EJ Whitten Legends Game & the Slowdown raising much-needed funds for prostate cancer research and children’s oncology treatment. It was her work here, that Abbey really cemented herself as a role model and respected figure nationwide.

Expertise
Feedback
Abbey was amazing, she was so engaging, she was very happy to answer any questions, have photos and was a wonderful speaker for our day! She had very relevant examples that tied in beautifully to the theme (Building a Coaching Culture), had a wonderful sense of humour, was down to earth, relaxed, and built very good rapport with everyone she spoke to - I would highly recommend booking Abbey for any future speaking appointment.
