The Donnica Clarke Foundation

The Donnica Clarke Foundation "It doesn't matter if you are not top of the group you're always out there trying."

The Donnica Clarke Foundation's aim is to provide scholarships for young emerging athletes, male and female, across all sports from the Central Coast of New South Wales, Australia to assist in their endeavours to become a successful sports person. The Donnica Clarke Foundation Limited will provide scholarships for young emerging athletes, male and female, across all sports from the Central Coast r

egion of New South Wales, Australia to assist in their endeavours to become a successful sports person. Donnica had a simple philosophy to life and competition and it was at the tender age of 13 that she said in an interview with NBN television:

"Just keep trying; you'll always get there eventually. With that in mind the Donnica Clarke Foundation Limited's aim is to raise and distribute funds to support young athletes from the Central Coast. This philosophy is based around providing assistance to those young athletes who demonstrate the ability but may not have the financial support to pursue the pathway to becoming a successful athlete in their chosen sport. Scholarships will be decided by the Donnica Clarke Foundation Limited Board of Directors, after applications have been given due diligence, and be awarded in the month of April of each year. Fundraising will be conducted by the Donnica Clarke Foundation Limited on an ongoing basis with the number of scholarships awarded to reflect the Foundations income.

Pressure is part of the journey as an athlete, but there’s no single way to handle it
Some of us need that extra squeeze to find our top gear, while others just lock in and deliver the moment the deadline hits.
It’s all about learning how you work best so you can harness your own talent when it counts. No comparison, just figuring out your own style
How do you find your focus under pressure? 🏃

The toughest opponent you will ever face isn’t across the line, the other side of the mat or in the next lane…
It’s the voice in your own head.
Being an athlete isn’t about being perfect and it’s definitely not about comparing your journey to anyone else’s. It’s about how you talk to yourself when the doubt creeps in.
When you change the internal narrative, you change the whole game. It’s always you vs. you.
Focus on your path, remember how far you’ve come and ‘Just keep trying’ 💙✨

“Just keep trying. You’ll always get there eventually. It doesn’t matter if you are not the top of the group, you’re always out there trying.”

These words from Donnica are the heartbeat of everything we do 💙

When sometimes it feels as though we only celebrate the final result, it’s easy to forget that the real magic is actually found in the middle. In the quiet decision to simply show up and keep going, day after day.

To every athlete out there chasing a dream, focus on your lane, trust your pace and remember that your best effort is always enough

Keep staying in the game. You’ll get there 🤍✨
