THE NEXT is a new monthly podcast from The Female Athlete Project.

Each episode, futurist and former athlete Reanna Browne joins Chloe and Bez to explore what’s changing in women’s sport, before it hits the headlines.

We shine a light on the pockets of the future already here - the signals of change that are quietly [or not-so-quietly] reshaping women's sport in the present. Not to predict what’s coming, but to notice what’s already in motion.

 This week we discuss five signals of change around how big money and big investment is entering women's sports.

Shyla Heal debuted in the WNBL at just 14 years old.

In the decade since her debut, she’s gone on to play for five clubs in the Australian Women’s Basketball League, including the championship-winning Townsville Fire in 2023.

But one of the biggest moments of Shyla’s career came when she was drafted by the Chicago Sky in the 2021 WNBA Draft. Shyla played just four games before being traded and waived from the roster in the most brutal of ways. But now she’s using it as motivation to one day return to the World’s Best Women’s Basketball league.

Now back in Australia, Heal is awaiting her return to basketball as she recovers from a knee injury, ready to take to the court this season with the Geelong Venom. We hope you enjoy this episode

Lizzie Welborn’s story begins quite differently to other female athletes. Growing up, she wasn’t sporty and sport wasn’t a big part of her childhood. That was until age 10 when she started surf lifesaving. From there, her competitive spark was lit, and by age 16 she was competing in the professional Australian Ironwoman Series, making her one of the youngest athletes in history to qualify.

This week Chloe sits down with Australian Ironwoman Lizzie Welborn. Lizzie opens up on the pressure of expectation after finding success so early in her career, and how she battled with body confidence and restrictive eating along the way. Before it all led her to start Kamana -  a program designed to educate and empower female athletes on taboo topics so they can reach their potential in sport and life. We hope you enjoy this episode.
