There is a new 6 time cross fit world champ in town and some of Libby’s experiences and opinions on the sport leave Georgie lost for words. 

Serena Williams is evolving away from tennis and some of Australia’s sporting captains have decided to take a break. Is sport getting better at supporting athletes during their careers?

Having now watched 3 seasons of F1: Drive to Survive, we consider ourselves to be car racing experts. This is concerning and thankfully Producer Jase is there to fill in the gaps. Powerpoint slide, complete with driver movements, to follow. 

We talk to Georgie’s mate, Mia Walsh, about that time she taught her QAFLW team their team song in Auslan to surprise their deaf teammate, and the impact that has had on the development of a national Auskick program for deaf and listening impaired kids. Sport doing what sport does best. We love it.
