Erin Phillips's Biography
The daughter of a South Australian football legend and a prodigiously gifted athlete in her own right, Erin rose through local basketball ranks to shine as a point guard for the Adelaide Lightning in the WNBL before being selected in the 2005 WNBA Draft by the Connecticut Sun.
She went on to win WNBA Championships with the Indiana Fever and the Phoenix Mercury before taking on the role of development coach with the Dallas Wings.
Phillips shone just as brightly at international level, proudly representing the Australian Opals for more than a decade, including two Olympic Games, where she won a historic silver medal in 2008 to go with 2006 World Championship Gold and 2014 Bronze.
She also spent extensive time in the Polish league, winning 3 Championships and 2 All-Star awards.
Away from the footy field and basketball court, Erin and wife Tracy are mums to their three children Brooklyn, Blake and Drew.
Aspiring to forge a legacy as an athlete that is also a leader for change, Phillips is paving the way in pushing boundaries within women’s sport, with issues such as diversity and the courage to innovate and do things your way close to her heart.
She is passionate about health and fitness, family, the welfare of animals and the planet.
A highly sought after speaker and ambassador in the corporate world, Phillips is currently an ambassador for Puma, Chemist Warehouse (INC Protein), Toyota, Metro Homes and the Australian Football League. In 2021 Erin began breakfast radio, hosting the Erin and Soda Show on Mix 102.3 across South Australia.
