Listen Later

The FIBA Womens World Cup (FIBAWWC 2022) will kick off a phenomenal decade for Womens sports in Australia.

In this episode we talk to Martha Lourey-Bird and Jacqui Dover, both former athletes joining forces to spearhead the FIBAWWC Legacy Program rolled out in partnership with Basketball NSW & Office of Sport NSW.

As a Sports scientist & lecturer, Martha advocates for girls in sport and provides valuable research into the challenges and barriers for girls and women in sport and basketball. In 2021 Jacqui made history as the first indigenous female basketball referee in the NBL and in her role at Basketball NSW as Indigenous, Cultural & Linguistically Diverse Programs Manager, she is a highly visible role model for all girls and women in basketball.

Tune in as we talk about the groundbreaking Legacy Program.
