She played netball as a girl growing up in Whangarei through to Otago University although her mother, Elaine Babe, didn't play sport until much later when the children inspired her. Her father, Nigel Babe, a former Nelson Bays rugby flanker and ex-NZ U21 rep, played top level basketball as well as twilight netball later with the extended family. "My dad's family were hugely involved in all sorts of sport," she says, revealing her aunt, Karen Prescott, of Hamilton, is former NZ U21 coach. As a youngster, Cook found everyone gravitating to hockey especially in Maungakaramea, south of Whangarei, where her parents are livestock farmers.
