Today we’re joined by Maddie Borg, someone doing outstanding work in a really important space of our game.

 

Maddie is the Head Coach of the Queensland Ivor Burge Women’s team, working within the intellectual impairment pathway, a space that continues to grow, evolve, and most importantly, provide meaningful opportunities for athletes to represent, compete, and belong in our sport.

 

What stands out about Maddie’s work isn’t just results, it’s the clarity of purpose. The focus on effort, attitude, and creating an environment where players can thrive and be challenged at the same time. 

 

In this conversation, we explore what it takes to coach in that space, the balance between performance and inclusion, how you build connection with your athletes, and what coaches at all levels can learn from working in the Ivor Burge program.

 

There’s a lot in this one, whether you’re coaching representative athletes, grassroots players, or anywhere in between.
