After years of being pushed to the sidelines with second-hand balls, women’s footy has finally stepped out of the dark ages… or has it?

This week we put male-dominated sports under the microscope with Not All Clubs. Behind the aliases Ripley, Jyn, and Lara are three fearless voices exposing the discrimination, harassment, and toxic cultures still silencing athletes and making clubs unsafe.

With AFL player Mitch Brown recently becoming the first openly bisexual male in the league, this conversation is more urgent than ever. Whether you’re an athlete, parent, or coach, this episode is about creating safer, more inclusive environments - and understanding the role you can play so fewer female and LGBTQIA+ athletes walk away from sport.

What We Cover

• The Power of Anonymity – Why the team remain anonymous to protect themselves and encourage others to share safely.
• The Catalyst – The incident at a First Nations round that sparked the Not All Clubs movement.
• The Systemic Problem – From being kicked off an oval to harassment and assault, sexism in sport is widespread.
• The Female Athlete Journey – Why young women leave clubs and what this costs future communities and sponsorships.
• Tackling Change – The governance, leadership, and policy shifts needed to move beyond tokenism into genuine inclusivity.
• Individual Action – Practical steps you can take, from calling out “drive-by comments” to being proactive in your club.

Why Listen

• Be empowered to create real change in your sporting community.
• Understand the deep-seated issues behind sexism and homophobia in sport.
• Know you’re not alone - others share these experiences, and there are people working to change things.
• See how male allies can use their voice to support women and LGBTQIA+ athletes.

Key Takeaways

• The problem is widespread – These issues aren’t isolated but part of a global, systemic culture in male-dominated sports.
• It’s more than a game – Sport builds confidence, belonging, and life skills, making safe, inclusive clubs essential.
• Every action counts – Calling out microaggressions signals these behaviours won’t be accepted.
• The solution is collective – True change requires men to listen, acknowledge their role, and work with everyone in the community.

"Belief is trust without evidence"

Host Kylie sits down with mindset and fitness coach Danny Kennedy to discuss the mental side of sports/life. Danny, who was a basketball player, opens up about his struggles with setbacks and self-worth during his career, and how those experiences shaped his coaching philosophy today. The conversation is a must for athletes and anyone looking to overcome self-limiting beliefs, build a strong self-image, and find success and fulfillment beyond their chosen field

Danny is a renowned mindset and fitness coach who works with a diverse range of clients, including professional athletes and business owners. He is the host of "The Fitness and Lifestyle Podcast" and is dedicated to helping people maximize their potential by addressing self-limiting beliefs and building a powerful self-image

Why You Should Listen: If you've ever felt held back by fear of failure or judgment, or if you've tied your self-worth to your achievements, this episode is for you. Danny's practical frameworks and personal anecdotes provide actionable insights into how to shift your mindset and create a more enjoyable and successful journey in sport and life

Key Talking Points:

• The Power of Detachment: Danny explains that many athletes tie their self-worth to their achievements, which can be a dangerous cycle. He introduces the concept of detachment, the ability to pursue a goal without tying your happiness or identity to the outcome. Detachment is one of the most important and powerful things we can lean into.
• Identity Beyond Sport: A significant portion of the discussion focuses on the importance of having an identity outside of sports. Danny shares his personal story of placing his whole identity around being a basketballer and the challenges he faced when his career had setbacks. He emphasizes that an athlete's career is temporary, and having a well-rounded identity is crucial for a successful transition and avoiding feeling "very lost"
• The Law of Vibration & Embodiment: Danny breaks down the "law of vibration" and "embodiment" as key pillars of his coaching. This involves showing up as the version of yourself who has already achieved your goals, acting and thinking with that future self's values and habits. He explains that reality "is always catching up to who we're being," and by embodying your desired self, you allow success to flow to you.
• Men's Role in Women's Sport: Danny weighs in on how men can support the growth of women's sports. He advocates for awareness, respect, and treating female athletes with the same merit as male athletes. The conversation emphasizes collaboration over conflict, aiming to create a space where it's "just sport" and women are simply "athletes".

In this powerful episode of the 4TG Podcast, we challenge and redefine the old stereotype of "playing like a girl" with a trailblazer who’s reclaiming the phrase. We sit down with Holly Bailey, CEO of Play Like a Girl, athlete, and passionate advocate who shares her journey from a highly competitive upbringing to creating a community that empowers women in sports and leadership. 

Holly opens up about the personal "aha" moment that changed her mindset forever, showing you how your inner dialogue can be the greatest barrier or the greatest tool for success. She discusses the vital importance of training your mind just as much as your body, and introduces practical concepts like the "third space" to help you show up as your best self. This episode is an essential guide for anyone who wants to learn how to play and lead with confidence, conviction, and power.

 Key topics that are discussed include:

• How a competitive childhood in a "boy's world" shaped Holly's fierce drive and what she had to "unlearn" to become a better leader.
• The moment of self-discovery that sparked the creation of Play Like a Girl to address the mental gaps in women's sports.
• The critical link between mindset and performance, and the importance of training your thoughts to achieve your goals.
• The concept of the third space" and how you can use short, intentional moments to reset your mental state.
• The power of authentic, "feminine" leadership traits and why they are a strength, not a weakness, for both male and female leaders and coaches.
• Why we need to keep girls in sport by focusing on fun and connection at a young age.
• How we can all help to promote women's sport, from buying tickets to actively seeking and sharing positive news stories. 

Why You Should Listen and Key Takeaways:

This episode is a must-listen for anyone who wants to take control of their mindset and leadership. You’ll learn actionable tools to train your mind and overcome self-limiting beliefs, which the episode highlights as the "architects of our destiny." Holly reclaims the phrase "play like a girl," showing how it can be a badge of honor and a statement of strength. You’ll also gain insight into the power of authentic leadership and community, discovering how vulnerability and mentorship can create more effective, trusting environments. Ultimately, you will feel empowered to be an agent of change, understanding that your support for women's sports from buying tickets to sharing positive stories makes a huge difference.

"You don’t need to be perfect to be powerful. You don’t need to have it all figured out to be worthy. You just need to show up raw, real, messy, human.” - Fiona Stanford

If you care about women’s sport and want to know how you can help create real change, this episode is the one. In this powerful episode of the 4TG Podcast, we sit down with Fiona Sanford, athlete, coach, former CEO, and passionate mental health advocate for young women in sport. Fiona shares her journey from elite gymnastics to leadership, opening up about the pressures of perfectionism, the realities of burnout, and the crucial importance of self-awareness. Together, we explore how sport profoundly shapes confidence, resilience, and leadership skills, and why it’s absolutely crucial for society to truly listen to the voices of young women, especially during vulnerable teenage years. 

Key topics that are discussed include:

• The biggest challenges still holding women’s sport back, including pressures like perfectionism and burnout.
• Why women’s sport is growing and why that’s exciting news, and the role of sport in shaping future leaders.
• Fiona’s personal story and how she overcame setbacks, from elite gymnastics to professional leadership.
• The mission behind 4TG and how it supports upcoming female athletes by amplifying their voices.
• The critical link between mental health challenges and not feeling listened to in young women.
• How YOU can help change the game for women in sports, from grassroots support to listening to young voices.

Key Takeaways:

• Listen to and amplify young women’s voices: It's critical for their mental health and development, especially during vulnerable teenage years.
• Perfectionism and burnout are common but manageable: Self-awareness, emotional intelligence, and supportive environments are key to prevention and recovery.
• Sport builds life skills that extend far beyond the field: Confidence, resilience, leadership, and the ability to handle pressure are all transferable skills.
• Support women’s sport at every level: Your involvement, attending games, volunteering, or simply advocating matters for visibility and growth.
• You don’t need to be perfect to be powerful: Authenticity and showing up as your true self are more valuable than chasing an unattainable ideal.
