Growing up, Alyssar Narey loved netball and basketball.

But as she describes it, once you get into football, it never really leaves you. And it never did for Alyssar.

While she started her career in the music industry, Alyssar channelled her passion for live events into sport, and never looked back.

Now this year, she’s been appointed as the CEO of the Central Coast Mariners, making her the club’s first female chief executive officer.

She’s hoping her presence will help inspire diverse young women across the country to know that they can achieve anything if they just go for it. We hope you enjoy this episode.

Growing up in the Australian country town of Albury, Zarlie Goldsworthy always had a love for any sport she could get her hands on.

In fact, it was soccer that she had fallen in love with from a young age.

But after moving to the city when she was just 15, she associated burnout with soccer and lost her passion for the game.

But it was moving back to Albury that helped her re-find her love for Aussie rules.

She was the GWS Giants first draft pick in 2022, and capped off her 2023 season as the Giant’s youngest ever club champion.

That same year, at just 18 years old, she picked up the League’s Rising Star Award.

Zarlie is now rounding out her third year of AFLW and is making her presence known across the park. This chat proves that if you have that passion and drive, then you don’t need a backup plan. We hope you enjoy it.

The Female Athlete Project is excited to announce the 2024 TFAP Awards. These awards are set to amplify, recognise and celebrate Australian athletes' achievements in sports. Voting is open NOW: https://www.thefemaleathleteproject.com/awards

Corban Baxter is one of the pioneers of modern day professional NRLW.

But her sporting journey actually started with a love of netball. Something she refused to give us as she went on to raise her son from the age of 16.

While managing motherhood, Corban discovered the lure of rugby league, and hit the ground running, Going from spectator to Jillaroos player within twelve months. 

Channelling her self-described calmness and positivity, she went on to captain the Maori all-stars and eventually captain the roosters to Premiership success in 2022.
