This week's guest is Lisa Alexander who coached the Australian Women’s Netball Team (the Diamonds) from 2011 until her contract was controversially terminated in March 2020. Before coaching Lisa played for Victoria and was a member of the wider Australian senior squad. She is the first ever Diamonds coach to have not represented them herself. Under Lisa’s coaching, the Diamonds have been the number one ranked team in the world since 2011 and she has led the team to win gold at the 2014 Commonwealth Games and the 2015 Netball World Cup as well as Silver at the 2018 Commonwealth Games and the 2019 World Cup. Throughout her coaching career Lisa has maintained an incredible 81% winning record. In addition, Lisa was awarded the Australian Sports Medal in 2000 for her service to netball as a player and for coaching and player development. In 2014 she was also awarded the Coach of the Year at the AIS Sport Performance Awards. We hear how her unexpected pregnancy influenced her coaching career, her love of all sports (and Shane Gould) and the deep competitiveness which drove the Diamonds to be the best in the world.

On this week’s episode Chris and Jane discuss children, ponies and summer fun and reflect on their childhood enjoying hours of sheer joy and happiness without a care in the world. The recent evidence of abuse in sport has cast a dark shadow on those glorious yet vulnerable years of youth indulging in sport with high ambitions and total dedication. Their love for sport and complete trust in their coaches and support staff has sometimes been cruelly exploited in a way that will never heal. Their scars, whether emotional, psychological or physical will never leave them, even though the passage of time helps them to come to terms with their ordeals. Children naturally surrender to adult supervision with an innocence and naivety that should be respected but tragically sometimes is not. Jane shares her thoughts from a trainer’s perspective on this abuse of power.

Anastasija Strizakova was born in Latvia and moved to Ireland when she was 16 with her parents who were looking for a brighter future for her than Eastern Europe could offer.  Not only has she adopted an Irish accent but in the past few years she has adopted the sport of rock climbing.  It has, she says, changed her life, giving her a new purpose and confidence, and she is a different person to what she was before she discovered this new passion. Anastasija usually climbs five times a week giving her body time to recover with two days rest. Climbing has taken her all over the world where she has reached new heights both metaphorically and physically.  Her favorite challenges being in France and Spain. Her goals now include new climbs and to make a full-time career as an instructor.
