Juliana Stanger: A Journey of Resilience and Opportunity in Sports

Meet Juliana Stanger, a trailblazer in the world of sports and the founder and CEO of Life in Sports.

Juliana’s journey is a testament to the power of resilience, determination, and the impact of sports on personal growth and opportunity. As a former professional volleyball athlete who has competed at elite levels in Brazil, Argentina, the United States, and Australia, she understands the challenges athletes face, especially when it comes to navigating the complex world of sports visas.

When Juliana received a full scholarship to play at a University of West Georgia in the United States in 2004, she was excited but quickly realised the hurdles ahead. The process of applying for a student visa was daunting. Living in a city with strict legal requirements meant she had to travel to São Paulo, an eight-hour journey, just to submit her application face to face. Upon her arrival, she discovered she had made an error in her paperwork, postponing her trip, forcing her to return home and reapply—a frustrating setback, more money costs, frustration that no athlete should have to face. This experience ignited a passion in Juliana to help other athletes avoid similar pitfalls.

Juliana emphasises the importance of understanding visa requirements for athletes aspiring to play internationally, get better salary, opportunities and achieve permanent residency through sports.

She knows firsthand that navigating these processes can be overwhelming, but it doesn’t have to be. Through Life in Sport, she offers a complimentary 15-minute consultation to share her experiences and guide athletes in planning their careers effectively.As a proud Australian citizen, achieved through  playing volleyball and her sports education in sports management uniquely positioned her to assist athletes in their journeys.

Following the initial career planning consultation, she connects athletes with a qualified immigration agent and lawyer to create a strategic immigration and visa plan tailored to their unique circumstances.

Her mission is clear: if she can overcome the challenges, so can you. Now studying Law at Griffith University in Brisbane, Juliana is committed to becoming an Immigration Agent. Her goal is to empower athletes like herself to seize opportunities through sports and citizenship in Australia. With her guidance, you’ll have a mentor who understands your journey and is ready to take you by the hand to show you the way. Don’t let the complexities of visas hold you back. Schedule your free 15-minute career planning consultation with Juliana today and take the first step towards a successful sports career and a brighter future in Australia. Your journey starts here!
