Katrina Gorry was a key part of the Matildas' line-up that captured Australia's imagination during the 2023 women's Football World Cup. But the road to glory hasn't been an easy one. Just a few years before, she was struggling with an eating disorder and considering walking away from the game she loves and has played since she was six.

All that changed with her solo journey through IVF treatments and the birth of daughter Harper in 2021, which re-ignited Katrina's love for the game and gave her a new-found respect for her body. This is a story of resilience, of inspiration, of a 'gutsy' young girl setting goals and not only reaching them but exceeding them.

'Good things come in small packages... Katrina Gorry tells a story of resilience, of loss, of love and the unwavering determination to have the courage to carve your own path. Mini in name is not mini in heart.' Tara Rushton

'Katrina's sense of family and its importance is palpable in everything she says and does. . . a role model.' Australian Women's Weekly
