While studying to be a frontline worker, this former Ninja Warrior star is once again training for national glory.

This Hervey Bay mum of two is like superwoman, as she studies to be a frontline worker and, she can do some pretty spectacular moves, too.

She made headlines when she starred on Ninja Warrior and continued to make her mark on the gymnastics scene.

Now, Torquay’s Amy Stephenson is eyeing her third Australian Masters Games.

This is all while studying to become a Registered Nurse.

Amy preparing for the 2019 Australian Masters Game, which was held in South Australia, where she competed in Women’s Artistic Gymnastics and placed second overall in her category.

Speaking to the Chronicle while training at the Wide Bay Gymnastics Club, she reminisces on her history here which began when the club was first established in 1997.

Amy soon realised gymnastics was where she “wanted to excel”.

“During my teenage years, I was offered the opportunity to assist with coaching younger gymnasts and I will never forget how amazing it felt to teach aspiring gymnasts what I had learnt from my own experience in gymnastics … the way they looked up to me was heart melting,” Amy said

And, her biggest driver is her girls – Ally, 10, and, Isabelle, 7.

“My desire to compete … is to make my daughters proud, I endeavour to show them that if they are dedicated enough to put their mind and heart into accomplishing their goals, anything is achievable,” she said.

Mother and (eldest) daughter Ally, 10, who’s following in the lead of her mum.

“There isn’t such a focus on winning at the games, rather, the focus is more directed toward challenging our own personal goals.”

Amy’s final nursing placement as a university student will be just before she and her girls travel to Perth for her third Australian Master Games, which will take place from October 9 until October 16.

Amy will be graduating from USC this year, where she will become a Registered Nurse.

“This has become a bit of a tradition for us … as a single mother, I could not be prouder of the amazing young ladies they are becoming, and I will continue to do whatever it takes to continue inspiring them to become the best versions of themselves.”
