Personal life

The 183 cm (6 ft 0 in) tall 76 kilograms (168 lb) Brown, born on 27 July 1985 in Melbourne, Victoria, currently[needs update] resides in Melbourne.[1][2][3][4] One of her parents won a bronze medal for Australia at the Commonwealth Games.[2] Her mother was the captain of Great Britain's fencing team and her father was the captain of Australia's fencing team.[2][4] Her parents believed that she would win an Olympic gold medal in an equestrian event, as she competed in the sport until she was sixteen years old. At that age, she then switched sports to water polo.[2] On 31 December 2010, she broke her leg in a New Year's Eve accident. During her recovery, she had to deal with a post-surgery infection.[2]

She lived in the United States from 2006 to 2008, with the goal of improving the quality of her water polo play so she could qualify for the Olympics.[4] In late 2010, she injured her arm and it took time to recover.[2]

Brown attended the University of Melbourne, where she earned a bachelor's in property and construction. She worked as a business owner and consultant. In 2011, she co-founded the firm Elite Mentors, which provides guidance to elite athletes.[4]

Water polo

My main concern is getting balls thrown at my face, but you get used to that after a while ... you actually train yourself to throw your head towards the ball. ... You do get nervous, but I quite like nerves. They keep you on edge.

—Victoria Brown[5]

Brown is a goalkeeper.[1][5] She took up the sport in high school, while in Year 7,[6] with the first team she competed for being the U17 Kawana Waters side.[4] In 2010, she had a water polo scholarship from the Victoria Institute of Sport.[7] She has a water polo scholarship from the Australian Institute of Sport.[3] When actively training, she will have ten to twelve training sessions, including gym work, a week.[6] Her home training pool is the Melbourne Sports and Aquatic Centre.[8]

She participated in the 2008 edition with her team.[13] She played for the Victorian Tigers in 2007[14] and 2009.[15] She was with the Tigers in 2010,[16][17] when Cronulla played in the finals tournament; in the tournament, she was named in the league final's All Star team.[17] She was with the Tigers again for their 2011 campaign.[18] She briefly played with the Tigers in 2012 before taking a break following their 18 February 2012 game against the Cronulla to attend the national team training camp.[9][10]
