What if one of the most powerful tools for girls' confidence, resilience and emotional wellbeing was already on the school timetable? In this episode of Psychology, Actually, we explore why girls in sport is about so much more than physical fitness. Joined by educational psychologist Dr Mel Morrison (The Sporty Ed Psych), we discuss how sport supports emotional regulation, identity development, belonging, and confidence in girls and young women.We also unpack the barriers that still exist – including gender stereotypes, access, cost, and school culture – and how we can create more inclusive opportunities so all girls can thrive, both in education and beyond.If you're a parent, educator, or aspiring psychologist, this episode offers a powerful, systemic perspective on how sport can transform not just physical health, but psychological wellbeing and engagement in learning.Highlights00:00 Why girls' confidence might be hiding in sport01:13 Emotional regulation through sport02:21 Belonging, connection and social development03:25 Identity, body image and confidence in adolescence04:39 Resilience, discomfort and mental strength05:01 Missed opportunities and changing narratives06:29 Why sport isn't just for the “naturally sporty”07:24 Adult rediscovery of sport and identity08:43 From punishment to joy – changing your relationship with movement10:30 Sport as emotional regulation for psychologists11:34 Strength training, femininity and breaking stereotypes12:57 “Sporty Spice was right” – cultural shifts in women's sport13:38 Strong is sexy – reframing strength and identity14:15 Denise Lewis and the power of role models15:20 Barriers for girls – body image, visibility and fear16:33 Using sport to support education and engagement18:01 Sport as intervention for disengaged pupils19:02 Motivation, behaviour and classroom impact20:14 Making PE inclusive and meaningful21:31 Supporting neurodiverse young people through sport22:53 Sensory needs, structure and safe environments24:37 Cost, access and inequality in sport26:10 Dr Mel Morrison's work and The Sporty Ed Psych28:59 Applying sports psychology to educationLinks:

William/Charles "icy at best and explosive at worst"—Charles finds William harder to deal with than Harry. William's documentary premiere absence was "a statement." William "furious" about Andrew not facing stronger action. Andrew email to Epstein: "Kate has agreed to deal in London. Wish I was still a pet in your family!" William/Kate issue first statement: "deeply concerned" about Epstein revelations, "thoughts focused on victims." Deep Crown's verdict: "William cannot publicly demand his father act. This falls entirely to the King. Charles must speak—the King himself, on camera, to the nation."Charles issues "profound concern" statement, ready to support Thames Valley Police. Charles heckled twice about Andrew. William asked about Andrew in Saudi Arabia, doesn't respond—then photographed playing Rocket League while newspapers ask "Can Monarchy Survive?" Deep Crown: "Image of William losing at Rocket League whilst kingdom metaphorically burns does rather reinforce the critics' narrative. Unfortunate misstep." Sarah distancing from Andrew: "I need money," considering memoir/interview.Andrew clinging to Queen's corgis as "final remaining connection to royal life." Charles's US spring visit in jeopardy. Kate crowned "Sporty Spice Princess"—wild swimming "craziest" hobby. Spotted as "regular mum" at Louis's football. William/Kate US trip causing Meghan "jealousy and rage." Jessica Mulroney $1M memoir possibility. Former PR exec calls both "delusional."Palace Intrigue is your daily royal family podcast, diving deep into the modern-day drama, power struggles, and scandals shaping the future of the monarchy."Crown and Controversy: Norway" is covering the trial of Marius Borg Høiby as the Norwegian Royal Family is faced with multiple scandals of their own.Check out "Palace Intrigue Presents: King WIlliam" here.

Even Fox News is leaning into the glow-up, hailing Catherine, Princess of Wales as the “Sporty Spice Princess.”During a visit to Wakefield Trinity Rugby League Club, Kate spoke about playing “loads of netball” at school and joked that she avoids roughhousing with Prince George at home. “George, now, if we play at home, I do not want to get tackled by George!” she laughed.Royal commentators say her athletic streak continues to impress, from rugby drills and tennis to sailing, curling and field hockey. Broadcaster Helena Chard said she has “definitely earned her nickname,” while Hilary Fordwich noted Prince William once called her love of wild swimming “slightly bonkers.”Off the field, she's just as relatable. The Oxford Mail reported Kate quietly cheering on Prince Louis at a local football match in Wargrave, dressed casually with her hair in a ponytail. One dad said, “She was very nice and friendly… If the parents had flags, they'd be waving them.”Kate has also spoken openly about how public engagements are helping her recovery, telling well-wishers in Wales that meeting people is “good for my soul.”Add in praise for her thoughtful fashion choices, famously roomy umbrellas, homemade jam gifts and even William's strict “Never put nuts in a brownie” baking rule, and the narrative is clear: steady, sporty and serenely in control.Behind the scenes, however, tensions are reportedly simmering as William and Kate prepare for a major U.S. visit, with insiders claiming Meghan Markle feels increasingly overshadowed by the Waleses' rising popularity in America.Palace Intrigue is your daily royal family podcast, diving deep into the modern-day drama, power struggles, and scandals shaping the future of the monarchy."Crown and Controversy: Norway" is covering the trial of Marius Borg Høiby as the Norwegian Royal Family is faced with multiple scandals of their own.Check out "Palace Intrigue Presents: King WIlliam" here.

Welcome to our podcast where we discuss and deliberate over memoirs and biographies found in thrift shops. This is a great way to do things as we are not choosing who to read about. We may not be fans of the person, we may never have heard of the person and we never know who we are going to find next...There are only 2 rules to this podcast. The book has to be found in a thrift shop and we are not allowed to talk about the book until we press record, which is sometimes agonising.We have lots of episodes coming up so if you find yourself enjoying our podcast, please be sure to subscribe to be among the first to hear about each episode.THANK YOU FOR LISTENING

Mel C is a singer and ‘Sporty Spice' from the Spice Girls, through her solo career and her time with the Spice Girls she's sold over 100 million records, making her one of the best selling musical artists of all time. Every single one of those records was against the odds of coming from a council estate near Liverpool, derogatory labels in the press calling her ‘Sumo Spice', and music industry management that didn't believe in her and sought to objectify her. But she persevered and helped to build the biggest girlband of all time, as well as one of the most successful solo careers of any group member ever. The world is so glad she did because, as this conversation shows, she has so much to contribute when she's let free to do things her way. Topics: Early years Dancing Not being taken care of a a child Discovering singing & joining the spice girls receiving horrible comments The come up of the spice girls The pressure being in a girlband Turning into a robot Depression Life after the spice girls Coming back together as the spice girls Wheres your line in sharing stuff The impact of your parents relationship on you The last guests question Mel: https://www.twitter.com/melaniecmusic https://www.instagram.com/melaniecmusic/ Mels book: https://amzn.to/3R1ikGl Watch the episodes on Youtube: https://g2ul0.app.link/3kxINCANKsb Follow us on Telegram: https://g2ul0.app.link/E5re0ADNKsb Sponsors: Huel - https://g2ul0.app.link/wjmvak5nAsb Craftd - https://g2ul0.app.link/gZ8in6Dsvsb

TW: eating disorders; suicide; sexual assaultI am so honoured to welcome my first ever Spice Girl to How To Fail! Today Melanie Chisholm - the artist formerly known as Mel C or even Sporty Spice - joins me in what is arguably her most open interview yet. She tells me about the impact of her parents' divorce, the extreme lengths of her people-pleasing as one of the most famous stars of the 1990s and her own struggles with her body. She talks bravely about the toxic impact of media attention on her weight, and how she developed an eating disorder. This led her into a very dark mental space where she felt dishonest about the image she was portraying to the outside world. Melanie also opens up about a sexual assault she endured while on tour in Turkey and her thoughts of suicide at her lowest points.And yet the extraordinary thing about Melanie is her resilience and her enduring gentleness. She is SO lovely, and we also have laugh-out-loud moments, including an unforgettable karaoke anecdote involving her and Baby Spice surprising some unsuspecting punters...What. A.
