Australian Athletics Coach Development Team

  • Rebecca Fancke

    National Athletics for the Outback Coach Manager & Coach Education Coordinator

    Rebecca leads Australian Athletics’ flagship Athletics for the Outback program, delivering opportunities for regional and remote communities to engage with athletics. As Coach Education Coordinator, she supports the development and accreditation of coaches nationwide — working closely with coaches to build their skills, confidence, and pathways in the sport.

  • Blair Taylor

    Coach Development Manager

    Blair is the coordinator behind the coach accreditation framework and development pathway, the person who makes sure our courses, tools, and resources don’t just exist but actually work (most of the time). Think of me as part coach, part educator, part tech-nerd, and part caffeine enthusiast

  • Nicolai Morris

    Female Coaching Lead

    Nicolai is the driving force behind our female coaching programs—part mentor, part motivator, and part cheer squad with a clipboard. She’s passionate about creating opportunities, breaking down barriers, and making sure female coaches not only enter the pathway but thrive in it.
