All That Glitters

Robyn Smith is someone who's track record in the inclusion space is second to none - CEO of Sport Inclusion Australia for 34 years, Assistant Chef de Mission for Sydney 2000 Paralympics, Member of the International Paralympic Committee, Governing Board Member of Virtus Sports....the list of her work is extensive and enduring. She's as passionate about grassroots sports inclusion for people with an intellectual disability, as she is about Brisbane 2032 and the opportunity for all our Paralympians. On top of all of this, Robyn is also unashamedly direct about the role women need to play in all sporting spaces. We are HUGE fans of this incredible individual.

Emmy O'Neill always knew that she might need a new kidney, she just didn't know when that would happen, and that along the way she reconnected with sport and a whole new community. You can find out more about Transplant Australia and their incredible sports programs here. And for me about disability sport options, check out the Australian Sporting Alliance for people with a Disability. Finally, for Emmy and all those currently sitting on a transplant waitlist, we'd ask you to take a moment and register to be an organ and tissue donor https://www.donatelife.gov.au/register-donor-today Libby and Georgie x We LOVE answering listener questions so if there's something you'd like to ask us, shoot us a DM HERE or write us an email (we accept all things!) - hello@playonmedia.com.au Hosts: Georgie and Libby Trickett Instagram: @beingsportish Website: www.playonmedia.com.au/See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

This week we chat with the incredible Katie Kelly - 2 time Paralympian, Australian representative in Blind Cricket, and Founder of the Sport Access Foundation. We chat about the challenge (and opportunity) of playing sport in a country town, aquiring your disability, hiking to Everest Base Camp and how organisaitons like the Australian Sporting Alliance for People With A Disability can help kids and families connect with sport. THE BEST PART? She's just launched the Sport Access Foundations 2025 Grant Program and you can get involved by sending this episode to a family with disability who needs a little help in accessing sport.

Royal Life Saving Australia recently released a report that had some pretty disturbing statistics, including the fact that most primary school kids can't swim 50m by the end of primary school. With drowning rates increasing 10 fold by the time kids are 20, it's never been more important to ask whether we're ok with the swimming skills of our kids? This week to talk to the CEO Royal Life Saving Australia, Justin Scarr, about why it's so important to make some cultural changes.

With the tragic passing of Adam Selwood, we talk about the men's mental health and the pivotal role sport plays.

When it comes to the Olympics, there is nothing better than a sports montage set to banging tunes or an Olympic anthem that gives you chills (remember Gloria Estefan and Atlanta? We absolutely go there). So when we heard that Jessica Mauboy had released a team song for the Australian athletes, we had no choice to revisit that time when the Australian swimming team wrote and recorded their own Olympic song.  You can watch the 2008 Aussie Swim Team song here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ikt4SuzGGsc And if you're looking for goosebumps, go and watch Gloria delivers the goods: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N3EFOSJ4ZQc PS.

We get it, these are tricky conversations. But they are also some of the most important conversations to be having. So when we had incredible human rights lawyer, Nikki Dryden, in the house, we decided it was the best opportunity for us to have an educated, informed discussion on the topic.   And because we're working Mums who are trying to juggle all things life, you'll also get to hear Libby's 1 year old Alfie slowly destroying the studio while we have this chat.

Holy moly, a lot has been going on at Firebirds HQ in the last month! But when we heard that our mate, Katie Walker, had been asked to step into role of coach for the last 4 matches of the season, we knew that the team was in good hands.  And so we wanted to drop this oldie but goodie from the All That Glitters back catalogue, so you can get to know to this gem of a human.  Libby xxx You can find Katie on Instagram @katiewalker_bbr and check out her business at Body Be Ready: http://www.bodybeready.com.au Hosts: Libby Trickett Instagram: @beingsportish Website: www.sportish.com.auSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Olympics are in the air and WE ARE EXCITED. We chat about swimming Christmas (aka the Australian Swimming's trials) and the absolute triumph of combining the Olympic and Para athletes at the same event. Libby's also off to Paris as a commentator and we hold grave concern for her mastery of the French language.  Hosts: Georgie and Libby Trickett Instagram: @beingsportish Website: www.sportish.com.auSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Nikki Dryden is an Olympic swimmer, journalist and human rights lawyer who in late 2021, realised that the female athletes of Afghanistan were in grave danger. What happened next saved countless lives, brought into question the obligations of large sporting bodies and preserved the fundamental right of women to play sport.  You can read more about the escape of the female athletes and their families here: https://www.abc.net.au/news/2021-08-23/afghanistan-female-athletes-find-refuge-in-australia/100398388 https://www.abc.net.au/news/2021-08-21/womens-sport-in-afghanistan-after-taliban-return/100392492 https://www.smh.com.au/sport/meet-the-women-who-escaped-the-taliban-and-now-play-for-melbourne-victory-20230608-p5deys.html   Hosts: Georgie Trickett Instagram: @beingsportish Website: www.sportish.com.auSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Look, we get it. Not everything can be free. But when it comes to key sporting moments, don't you think everyone should be able to watch? In a society where sharing a cultural moment is becoming increasingly rare, do we want it to be harder?  NOT US! So this week, we spoke to the Greens Senator Sarah Hanson-Young about what is happening with media laws in this country, and why you should have a chat to your local MP and check out a petition to keep sports viewing free in Australia.  Keep Sports Free Petition: https://greens.org.au/campaigns/keep-sport-free-watch Hosts: Georgie and Libby Trickett Instagram: @beingsportish Website: www.sportish.com.auSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
