Being good enough to represent your country in one sport is a sensational achievement; but imagine being an elite athlete for two sports. Australia have had a number of female cross code athletes of late including best and fairest Erin Phillips from basketball and AFLW, soccer and cricket superstar Ellyse Perry and let us not forgot tennis and cricket talent Ash Barty. One hockey player looking to make her mark in AFLW is ex Hockeyroo Georgie Parker. Hear about the differences in training and professionalism from the resident funny lady and tweeter extraordinaire. Make sure you listen until the end and take part in Georgies interesting Twitter poll questions for yourself - is soup a meal?
The former hockey player remarked: "I was the fittest I could be and the strongest I could be and did everything right because I wanted to do not just myself proud but I wanted to do my sport proud."  But she admits that making the switch was a big leap: "[It was] a massive hit to the ego really, I’m going from being one of the best in the country and one of the best teams in the world to essentially being the worst in my team and I hated that."  And with it come the trophy scars: "I’ve been a Collingwood member for what a year now and I’ve already lost one tooth."

Welcome back to a new season of The Horse Show and we kick off with Team US show jumper Lucy Davis who made a name for herself with Barron, a horse of a lifetime, who took her to a team bronze medal at the 2014 World Equestrian Games in France and then a team silver medal the 2016 Olympic Games in Rio. As well the pair have been on Nations Cup teams and competed in three World Cup Finals and they also finished on the podium in the Washington International World Cup qualifier this year. Lucy won both a gold and silver medal at the North American Young Rider Championship at the start of her career and then trained with German maestro Marcus Beerbaum for six years.  We will hear how while she was at Stanford University, as well as riding and studying, she began to develop PonyApp for riders and barn managers alike, which has now become a successful business tool and continues to grow.

On this week's episode of Hockey Talk, Coach Shannon Miller talks us through the known and unknown aspects of coaching, the challenges of balancing the personalities and bringing out the best of available talent. Our coaches and our parents pushed many of us growing up and playing sports - we weren’t allowed to float through the comfort zone receiving coddling and bouquets of flowers for compliments. Many today have not been made to feel uncomfortable; they’ve not been pushed by their parents, and possibly not by earlier coaches. There is a softness that exists where toughness used to reside.  She also explains the need to follow your instincts and stick by the principles to be your guiding light.
