Chloe Dalton is one of Australia's few triple sports athletes. She has been a part of the WNBL with the Sydney Uni Flames. Chloe then represented Australia in rugby sevens and made her debut in 2014 on the Dubai women's sevens circuit.

Chloe won a gold medal as a part of the women's sevens team at the 2016 Rio Olympics and was recognised as Australia's top Rugby 7s player in 2017, winning the Shawn Mackay Medal. As well as her achievements in the rugby and basketball world, Chloe then crossed codes again to Aussie Rules. She made her debut in 2019 for Carlton in the AFLW, Chloe was recently named Runner-Up in the Carlton Best and Fairest Awards for the 2020 AFLW season.

In this episode, we learn what it takes to compete at the highest level across three sports & the journey to success of some of the top female Australian athletes. We dive into:

  • How Chloe was a driving factor into getting the Paralympians competing at the 2020 Tokyo Paralympics the same pay for winning medals as the other Olympic athletes.

  • The reason behind creating 'The Female Athlete Project' and why it is such a game-changer in the world of sport.

  • Challenging the misconception around women's sports and shedding light on their achievements and gaining mainstream media exposure.

  • How Chloe managed to stay at the top of her game in each sporting code and receiving huge praise and accolades after each sporting transition.

If you are an aspiring young athlete who is striving to make the next level then Chloe will give you the inspiration to do so. This episode is about the journey to becoming a professional athlete and gives you advice on how to handle pressure and adversity along the way.

This podcast is extremely relevant in the sporting world because women's sports have typically had a back seat in terms of media coverage. As women's sports is growing rapidly so are their successes and Chloe has created a platform to share and expose the incredible stories of Australian female athletes.
