Fanny is the coach of the Starship Rockets in the Barfoot & Thompson New Zealand Badminton League in 2021.

Fanny has a massive amount of experience at the highest level, coaching several Olympic medallists and working with top players in Indonesia, Malaysia, Singapore and the Philippines, before arriving in New Zealand. She is now the national coach for the Under 17s squad.

She hopes that the NZBL will provide a big challenge to her players, as they deal with the pressure of representing themselves, their team mates and their franchise.

I have no doubt the badminton community will love the entertainment factor of the Barfoot & Thompson NZBL. Being on SKY Sport Next will really increase badminton's presence in New Zealand.
