She cut it a bit fine -- the second last player announced during the Super Netball contracting period -- but Jemma Mi Mi will mark her sixth season in purple in 2022. Running out for the Queensland Firebirds, she's looking to bounce back from a torn calf muscle, while her side, which is set to look a little different next season, seeks to end a two-year absence from Super Netball’s finals. Beyond bringing her agility and creative nous to coach Megan Anderson’s side, Mi Mi is also set to remain her league’s only Indigenous player in 2022 - saying when she re-signed that “I hope to still be a role model to young Indigenous kids out there who love sport and one day want to play at the elite level.”The opportunity to serve as a role model and an inspiration is one she relishes, and even has tie ins to her goals after netball but given the heavy lifting she continues to do in this space, does it ever get fatiguing? Beyond that, she spoke with ESPN’s Joey Lynch about Super Netball’s direction and its international vs. domestic player debate, her love of the game, the Firebirds coming season, and much more.
