Nutrition plays a huge role in my performance, just like it’s central to Zespri’s mission. There’s also that shared drive for constant growth while staying grounded in who we are. - Lisa Carrington
Sport has taught me so much more than just how to race – it’s taught me about resilience, connection, and who I am at my core. - Lisa Carrington
When you love what you’re doing – even through the hard days – it gives you the energy to keep showing up, to grow, and to push your limits. - Lisa Carrington
Even though we’re in different worlds, there are so many parallels between my journey and what Zespri stands for. We both represent New Zealand on the global stage with pride, and staying connected to our roots – especially the Bay of Plenty – means a lot to me. - Lisa Carrington
