Amelia project is a vulnerable and honest tale of her mental health journey, which sees other NZ athletes do the same in a bid to help others struggling with the same issues know that they are not alone, and help is around the corner.

Women Fitness President Ms. Namita Nayyar catches up Amelia Kerr an exceptionally talented, leading New Zealand cricketer, here she talks about her fitness routine, her diet, her hair care, skin care, her battles with depression & anxiety and, her success story.

Namita Nayyar:

You were born in Wellington, New Zealand. Cricket is in your blood. Your grandfather, Bruce Murray, played Test cricket for New Zealand. Your mother Jo and father Robbie both played cricket at the domestic level representing Wellington. Your sister Jess has been named in New Zealand’s national cricket squad against South Africa women. This later propelled your career to the height where you have been at the top of the world of women’s cricket setting the record for the highest women’s ODI score with 232 runs. Tell us more about your professional journey of exceptional hard work, tenacity, and endurance.

Amelia Kerr:

I grew up playing plenty of sports with close friends and family and was always active as a kid. I picked up cricket at the age of 6 and played boys cricket right throughout school. When I was nine I set a goal which was to be a white fern. I have been fortunate enough to represent my country and other teams around the world. My support network has got me to where I am today. I love what I do which makes working hard for easier because I genuinely enjoy the challenge and want to get better each day so I can be the best I can be. I believe hard work is what gets you places so I want to be the hardest worker so I can give myself the best chance to succeed.

Namita Nayyar:

It is a dream for a young cricketer to achieve what you did at a very early age. On 13 June 2018, you made the highest individual score in a WODI match, and became the youngest cricketer, male or female, to score a double century in One Day International cricket, when you scored 232 not out against Ireland. The double century was also the third-highest individual score, male or female, in an ODI, second-highest by a New Zealander, and highest in a Women’s ODI. Later in the same match, you also took 5 wickets for 17 runs, your first five-wicket haul in WODIs. Tell us more about this spectacular achievement of yours.

Amelia Kerr:

It’s not something that ever really crosses your mind. I had no idea about the record or anything to do with statistics. I got the opportunity that day to open the batting and wanted to make the most of that opportunity. It was a very special day but not something I think about too much.
When I was batting I wasn’t thinking too much it was just see the ball, hit the ball and I had some great partnerships that day with other batters. I didn’t think I was going to bowl that day as I was shattered after batting but then I got to roll the arm over and fortunately picked up some wickets. It was a day where things just seemed to fall into place. I am sure one day I will look back on it more but that might be in 40 years’ time.
