Tiffany Cherry

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Tiffany Cherry (born August 4, 1971) is an Australian sports broadcaster best known for her role as boundary rider on Fox Footy in the channel's AFL coverage.

Cherry was a big fan of sport as a child, and grew up in a family of sporting fanatics and has travelled the world participating, commentating and simply following her passion.

Cherry may not have played football at the elite level due to the obvious handicap of being a woman, but she knows a lot more about the pressures of being an elite athlete than most. She has seen first hand the pressure footballers put their bodies under during the course of the game.

She is a trained physiotherapist and sport masseur, and has worked with some of Australia’s leading athletes. She was an accomplished hurdler, has represented Australia at the 1999 World Championships, trained with Cathy Freeman, been a runner for Brian Taylor when he was coaching an under 19s side and worked as the physiotherapist for the Richmond Football Club.

To get the job with Richmond, Tiffany had to pass a test – give Coach John Northey a “hard” massage. She succeeded^{[citation needed]}. Tiffany says one of her greatest sporting moments was walking down the race and out onto the MCG with the Richmond team for a game during the final series^{[citation needed]}.

During her training she worked as the physio for her former school’s first XVIII, Carey Grammar as well as the Old Carey Grammarians. Here, former Collingwood champion, Brian Taylor asked Tiffany to be his runner^{[citation needed]}.

“That is how I started learning about the positions in the game. It was fantastic. I knew the game, but I had never played it. Well – I did play one game in year 12!”^{[citation needed]}

At the completion of her degree, Tiffany won a 12 month scholarship with the Olympic Park Sport Medical Centre^{[citation needed]}. During this time she worked as a physio for many major sporting events. ^{[citation needed]}

Cherry is currently known as a boundary rider for Fox Footy.
