So it's little surprise that the 14-year-old has excelled at basketball as well. So much so, that she will represent Australian Country Under 16s at the annual Mel Young Easter Classic in Tauranga, New Zealand next month.

Widjaja's path to this point, however, has not been a conventional one. She only took up the sport four years ago after she got sick of her brother beating her in games of one on one.

Once she did, though, it didn't take her long to elevate her level of play.

"I started basketball very late," Widjaja said. "So I just didn't really know how far I would get. When I was picked for the team I was a bit surprised, I had never been offered an opportunity like that before.

"I was inspired to start playing by my mum, who played for her state in Indonesia, and I was tired of losing to my brother when we played in the backyard, so I started playing in the local competition.

"Both my parents helped me catch up to the others, they're always there for me, supporting me and understanding the game. They gave me more will power to keep going."

Widjaja credits much of her success to the work of her coaches, with one name in particular jumping out, current Hawks star Tim Coenraad.

Working with Coenraad's coaching school, Widjaja said he helped develop her game and inspired her to continue chasing her dreams.

"I always root for Tim Coenraad when I'm watching NBL because he has trained me.

"I started going along to his coaching business to develop my skills and then started doing individual sessions and I kept improving.

"I was ecstatic to be coached by someone with such good experience, he's helped me with my dribbling skills, shooting and decision making."

The Mel Young Easter Classic will run from Good Friday to Easter Monday.
