Sportish

Katie Walker has been part of netball, in some capacity, for 38years. Playing, coaching, umpiring, commentating. She’s done it all.

But how did she evolve to become the strong, inspiring woman who lifts others up every single day to be their best selves? How does she raise four kids, with her husband Shane, while running her group fitness training business and her kicking goals with her coaching commitments with the Queensland Firebirds?!

Prepare to be inspired, Katie is warm and real and I will be forever grateful for her because the only reason this podcast even exists is because of the incredible community she creates.

I loved this chat and I know you will too! Enjoy x

Incredible Ironman athlete, Caroline Steffen, is remarkable in more ways than one.

The Swiss-Aussie started as a national swimmer, dabbled in some Ironman events and then turned to pro cycling. After realising that she was, in fact, an individual athlete, she decided to put it all on the line, move half way around the world to see if she could make it as a pro triathlete.

Caroline, is so open about her experiences so far in the early stages of this transition (she doesn’t like using the ‘R’ word) and I connected with so much of her story! I loved chatting to my very first international athlete! Oh yeah, and then there’s a little story about how she competed just SIX MONTHS after the birth of her first baby. Like I said.. remarkable!

I’ve known Caroline for a very long time after meeting her in 2011 and have followed her career ever since. So trust me when I say you will absolutely fall in love with Caroline “Xena” Steffen! Enjoy x

You know what I love? People who seem to have their shit together. Who have sat in their pain and discomfort and grow through those experiences. And it’s even better when they can share their wisdom with you.

That’s exactly what this chat with Layne Beachley was for me. So many moments when I reflected on what she said and the wave of recognition and relation washed over me.

I absolutely loved this conversation with Layne. I hope you enjoy it too x

Something a little bit different! Due to time constraints, school holidays and just general disorganisation on my part- you get me! This week, I’ll be answering your questions that you have for me around my experiences in and out of the pool and into retirement!

Let me know if you’d like to hear something like this again and if you don’t, please don’t say anything hahahahhahaha

Jessica Smith is a Paralympian. She was born missing her left arm, is a burns survivor and has battled disordered eating.

She is a mother of 3, an Australian living in the UAE and converted to Islam to marry her husband.

Jess is an advocate for positive body image, diversity and inclusion and disability awareness, and she was awarded the Medal of the Order of Australia for her roles within the community and dedication to sport.

There is no doubt that Jess is a remarkable woman, but with so many different ways to define oneself, how does Jess define herself?

This was a fascinating chat with a woman who has overcome so much in her short life so far and who will continue to achieve wonderful things!

Playing for the Brisbane Broncos in 2009. Selected in the Indigenous All Star in 2010. Scoring tries for the Maroons and playing for Australia in 2011. A career ending injury by 2012.

Jharal Yow Yeh’s meteoric rise in rugby league was cut short when he was just 23 years old by a traumatic compound fracture in his right ankle, while playing, which I vividly remember watching.

So how does somebody navigate the transition into life after sport, not only when the decision isn’t their own and especially when they seemingly still had so much of their career ahead of them?!

This conversation with Jharal was incredibly powerful on how difficult that journey can be but also, how much impact a young man can make in normalising conversations around mental health and illness and asking for help, especially amongst other young men.

I loved this chat with Jharal and I hope you do too!

Growing up in North Queensland in the late 80’s and early 90’s, I can’t say I heard or cared too much about Rugby Union. Even their players I had no interest in, unless it was talking about a league player heading into union.

But in 2017, I heard a story about a young man by the name of David Pocock who was going to take a year off to focus on his studies. As a former athlete, I couldn’t believe an athlete at the top of their game could have the confidence to take a year out to focus on their studies. It was totally a shock and totally inspiring to me. Something I wish I could have had the confidence to do during my career.

From then on, I kept an eye on what David was up to, whether it was to do with the stance he was taking with same sex marriage or his conservation work, I admired the things he stood for and his ability to articulate it when athlete’s are barely allowed to comment on sport.

This conversation was engaging and inspiring and if you don’t feel like changing the world after this chat, then I might argue that you don’t have a pulse!

Can you imagine, being a world champion hurdler, a two-time Summer Olympian, a Winter Olympian, a doctor, a mum-to-four and in the army reserves?! Today, I speak with Jana Pittman who is LITERALLY ALL OF THESE THINGS!

Mostly, I ask her how. She was an incredible athlete, who had her fair share of (Jana) dramas, injuries, failures and setbacks and I loved exploring her experiences and understanding how she continues to push herself to achieve.

Daniel Kowalski. Swimming’s Mr Nice Guy.

When I was growing up, I mostly only admired athletes for their medals. Athletes who won specifically, or broke world records.

But Dan was different, even though he was an amazingly successful athlete winning medals in 3 individual events at the 1996 Atlanta Olympics - something I could only dream of! More importantly, Dan was kind. He was respectful of his competitors and respected by his peers. That has ALWAYS stuck with me and I believe helped shape who I wanted to be outside of the pool. Because you could be a great competitor and a nice person!

I really loved my chat with Dan, and I’m sure you’ll see what I’m talking about when you have a listen!

This chat with Lauren was absolutely fascinating to me.

As someone who still misses swimming deeply (especially after coming off the buzz of the Olympics), to hear someone say they don’t miss their sport really surprised me. It’s not something I thought was possible!

This chat with Lauren was so insightful especially for anyone who appreciates the experiences they’ve been through, and knows they are in a better place now. I always appreciate when people are so open and no ssy and Lauren did not disappoint!
