At age 23, Katie Williams has proven herself as a professional athlete. She’s one of the country’s leading beach sprinters, winning World Junior gold and six Australian titles in the last three years alone. But, you may not have heard of her before. Until now, that is.
With health and fitness goals reached and made, Katie defines motivation, discipline, and persistence. For Katie, balance is key. That’s why she’s still training and competing whilst studying a Bachelor of Sport & Exercise Management at UTS Sydney and a Cert IV in Personal Training. Not to mention, she’s also joined The Robards Method team as a female coach to help others reach their true potential.
