Guest Speaker Jacqui Cooper
Jacqui Cooper has represented Australia in the sport of aerial skiing for over 20 years. Recruited at the age of 16 to join the Techne Team, within three years Jacqui was representing her country at the World Championships.
Jacqui's sport, however, is unforgiving; she has multiple reconstructions of her knee, elbow, shoulder and hip. In 2001 she broke her back in an attempt to win a record third World Title; she went on and won it. In 2002 at the Salt Lake City Winter Olympics Jacqui shattered her knee and broke her leg just two days before scheduled to compete, destroying a dream years in the making.
Jacqui's story is one of self-belief, passion, triumph, tragedy and the ability to overcome adversity against the odds.
