Behind the Whistle

Madi is having a very successful WNBL officiating career thus far, and she doesn't seem to be slowing down! She is a wealth of knowledge when it comes to refereeing and I absolutely love picking her brain on all sorts of topics whenever I get the chance. It was incredible to sit down and hear more about her personal story and philosophy on refereeing.

We need more people like Murphy. She really peels back the curtains for us on this one, speaking out on the real battles referees face every day and how she has been able to persevere & overcome (or is overcoming) such obstacles both mental and physical. I learned a lot from her, she provoked my thought, I hope you enjoy this conversation as much as I did.

Speaking on the importance of understanding how your subconscious conditioning runs your life, becoming more self aware, transforming limiting beliefs to empowering one's and how to overall elevate your life and thus, refereeing. Perspective is everything, look at this with fresh eyes and hear this with curious ears. The one person you can't lie to is the person looking back at you in the mirror. Learn & enjoy.

Marc and Nico have each had such unique and contrasting journeys to officiating at the highest level. The saying, 'Many roads lead to Rome' rings true as they both take very different approaches to reach a similar level of success in the NBL. This episode is informative, funny and inspiring. Enjoy!

Jacquis journey is super inspiring and she is a great role model for our officials coming through. She was the first female indigenous referee to officiate in the NBL and now she is headed to the NBA in their development program. There's a lot of gold in this one for you to uncover. I am so grateful to everyone who is sharing around the podcast, it keeps me inspired to continue creating!
