Macca: my story so far. Mackenzie Arnold. 2024.

Australia's own Minister of Defence, Mackenzie Arnold, shares the inspiring story of becoming the Matildas' number-one goalkeeper, and what it takes in your heart to take on the world.

The iconic moment of the FIFA Women's World Cup 2023 came when the Matildas faced down France in an epic penalty shootout. Standing on the collective brilliance of her teammates, it was Maccas leadership and steely-eyed focus in goal that helped propel Australia into their first ever semi-final and give us a group of heroes fit for our times.

Bur heroes dont just fall from the sky, and the making of Mackenzie Arold began well before that electric night.

Maccas story is one of dizzying heights, crushing lows and hard-won lessons. Facing down her doubes and fears to find the courage to be her truest self on and off the pitch, using her temporary setbacks to inspire others, and shouldering the hopes of a nation to deliver moments that transcend sport - Mackenzie Arnold has packed a loe into her life so far.
