This week on the Fired Up podcast with Clare McDonnell and Kirsten Webster, British Golfer Mel Reid - who finished in the top three in the USPGA Major Championship last week - tells us how certain golf club manufacturers still won't supply her with equipment because they "don't support women's golf". And Kenyan Footballing legend Doreen Nabwire - the first and only Kenyan Woman to player top level football in Europe - explains why the Cameroon Women's team were "indecent" in the way they behaved against England in the World Cup last sixteen. She also talks about how football saved her from the slum and how's she trying to do the same for kids today.

This week on the Fired Up Podcast Clare McDonnell and Kirsten Webster talk to the star of the Australian Women's Football team who, twenty years ago, refused to strip for a calendar, even though most of her teammates did. Also, the mother of one of the stand out stars of the current World Cup in France Lindsey Horan, tells us how she became a self taught soccer coach through reading books just so she could help her daughter, and with the Women's golfing major the KPMG PGA about to get underway in Minneapolis, Professional Golfer and broadcaster Karen Stupples joins Clare and Kirsten and tells us why the women's game is bigger than the men's in south east Asia and why, if you're a man, you should be watching women's golf to improve your game, not mens.

This week on the Fired Up Podcast, Clare McDonnell and Kirsten Webster take on the critics who say the level of play at the Women's World Cup is so shocking it should be played behind closed curtains. They also hear about the slum in Bangalore that’s bucking the trend and producing fantastic footballers rather than cricketers, and they consider body image, social media and tiny tennis clothes for normal sized players - are girls dropping out because they don't look the part?

Coming soon... Record TV audiences for Women's football, the slum in India producing the country's best female footballers and will Ash Barty's win help diversity in tennis?

Clare and Kirsten are joined by Italy based football Journalist Daniella Matar and by Tennis writer and broadcaster Courtney Nguyen from inside the press room at Roland Garros.

 

Plus, they have an exclusive interview with the Coach for Serie A Champions Juventus Women’s team Rita Guarino. She gives her reaction to the record breaking 39,000 strong crowd that watched her team at the end of last season when the women were allowed to play in the men’s stadium, the Allianz, for the very first time.
