At a Senate committee last year, the NRL and Football Australia acknowledged the link between head injuries in contact sports and the neurodegenerative disease chronic traumatic encephalopathy (CTE). But a core member of the NRL's concussion research group is also one of the most outspoken critics of the link between repeated head injury and CTE, calling it an “invented disease … conjured out of thin air”. His views corroborate the Australian NRL's multimillion-dollar research program into former elite-level rugby league players, which to date has concluded there is no link between concussion and depression or other cognitive problems. So how does the NRL justify advancing a position that most scientists don't agree with?  Today, journalist and contributor to The Saturday Paper Wendy Carlisle, on the brain epidemic killing ex-athletes and why the science is still being contested.

This week, Mandy chats with Kelly Stirton, coach of the CommBank Paramatildas, Australia's first national football team for women and girls with cerebral palsy, acquired brain injury and symptoms of stroke. Competing this week in the IFCPF 2023 Asia-Oceania Championships at the Home of The Matildas in Melbourne, the Paramatildas are currently undefeated after four matches against Japan and Nepal. The team is also ranked #1 internationally and came second in the IFCPF World Cup in 2022, an incredible rise to the top since its founding in 2019. Kelly chats about her background growing up playing football at a state level, the inspiration she found in her football-loving dad and the ongoing injuries that hampered her playing career. Coaching the Paramatildas helped her achieve her dream of being involved in football at an international level, while also supporting women and girls with CP and ABI to come together, play in a team and represent their country! Kelly talks through the process of player selections, classifications, the challenges and triumphs along the way, the trickiness of being away from her two children when coaching and travelling, and the absolute joy and honour of being the coach of an amazing team of athletes following their dreams. Kelly encourages everyone to join the Paramatildas family, come along to support them at the Championships this week and reach out to Football Australia if you have a peashoot who might want to try out. Also, if you have the means, please consider making a donation or buying a fundraiser Paramatildas x Gym Face gym towel. Thank you so much Kelly for chatting with us, we are honoured to be part of the Paramatildas family and we will be cheering them on forever!

Mandy chats with Kathy Adams, a physiotherapea with 35 years of experience working with children and families. Kathy is passionate about providing encouragement, support and tools to help parents have fun with their children, help them grow, thrive and chase their goals and dreams together. Kathy's long and successful career started at Melbourne's Royal Children's Hospital, where many years later, she provided physiotherapy to Mandy's twin daughters Milly and Molly following their dual leg surgeries. Kathy now works in the community providing physiotherapy to children and also mentors and supports newer physiotherapists to develop their skills. With soccer all the rage in Australia at the moment with the current FIFA Women's World Cup underway on our shores, this was the ideal time to hear about Kathy's new all-abilities soccer program that she's started up in Melbourne's outer eastern suburbs. Kathy was the Vice President of the Maroondah United Football Club, and was well aware that finding appropriate and engaging sports for kids with disabilities and special needs can be very tough for Pea families. Inspired by one of the club's coaches, whose soccer-loving daughter sadly passed away, Kathy finally started the all-abilities team so that he could coach and participate in her honour, while also providing new opportunities for local peashoots keen to participate and belong in a sports team. It's been a great success! The all-abilities team has approximately 21 children taking part each fortnight, having fun, smashing through smilestones and finding friendships and new connections in a place that's inclusive and welcoming. Based in Croydon, check out the Maroondah United Football Club's Facebook page and get in touch if you'd like your child to be involved, volunteer or donate! You can also get in touch with Football Australia to search for information about all-abilities clubs around Australia. Go Matildas and go Maroondah United Football Club All-Abilities team!
