Legendary Australian cricketer Matthew Hayden's daughter Grace has carved out a successful career for herself in the sports media industry, almost becoming a household name among sports fans, appearing frequently as the presenter for multiple global tournaments, including the Indian Premier League.
Grace is equally active on social media, boasting nearly eight lakh followers on Instagram, often giving fans a glimpse of her off-screen life. However, with more eyeballs comes more scrutiny, but Grace's way of dealing with haters is by ignoring them and focusing on the positives.
"Working in TV and sport, you naturally understand that people will always have opinions, but I've learnt to stay focused on the positives," Grace, 23, said in a recent interview with Australian website news.com.au
Grace, who also does events across the fashion and entertainment industry, is well aware of how quickly people tend to label someone.
"I try not to focus on labels. My priority has always been the work itself. I have always believed you can be professional, prepared and respectful of the role, while also embracing confidence and personal style," she said.
