Despite her double life leaving little spare time in her schedule, Bray describes herself as fairly normal.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m pretty boring,\u201d she says, \u201cI sort of chill at home, I do scroll a little bit, hang out with my mates every now and then.\u201d<\/p>\n
But constantly travelling for work isn\u2019t always conducive to having a normal high school life.<\/p>\n
Growing up in Denman, in the Upper Hunter Valley, Caoimhe had a taste of life on the road pretty early.<\/p>\n
At one point, Caoimhe would spend the night in Newcastle ahead of morning soccer training, then be driven two hours to school in Aberdeen. She\u2019d eat dinner at home in Denman before the drive back to Newcastle to sleep and do it all again.<\/p>\n
The load was lightened two years ago when the family moved to Newcastle. Caoimhe jokes that she will have no problem clocking up the hours required for her P-plates.<\/p>\n
The future is bright for Caoimhe, but she knows professional sport is not a guaranteed path or a lifelong career. She, like any 16-year-old, is figuring things out and not getting too far ahead of herself.<\/p>\n
\u201cI definitely know a lot will change … Not everything\u2019s going to stay the same,\u201d she says.<\/p>\n
\u201cI don\u2019t even know what I would want to do outside of cricket yet, but I think in the future I might have to [think about it].\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Despite her double life leaving little spare time in her schedule, Bray describes herself as fairly normal.
