Extraordinary Stories

Her Sister Took Everything. Until She Took It Back


Listen Later

Madi Browne is netball royalty. A two-time Liz Ellis Diamond winner, Commonwealth Games gold medallist, and one of the game’s greats, she always aimed for the top.

Madi takes us behind the scenes of her incredible career, from growing up sports-obsessed to dominating the court with the Melbourne Vixens and Collingwood Magpies. She opens up about the reality of being a pro netballer when players earned just $200 a game and the brutal ACL injuries that nearly ended her career.

We also explore what it really takes to stay at the top in elite sports and how she navigated the transition from high-performance competition to life beyond the game.
