    Brisbane Lord Mayor on kid's parks and the legacy of Brisbane 2032

    Brisbane City Council is the 2nd biggest council in the southern hemisphere and part of the team pulling together one of the largest sporting events in the world, Brisbane 2032. And you know how much we're into the Olympics. Soooo, this week we asked Brisbane's Lord Mayor Adrian Schrinner to drop into the studio and talk to us about how we involve kids in parks and what legacy we can expect from Brisbane 2032. Not from Brisbane? DOESN'T MATTER. If you have a council, you need to listen.  If you'd like to learn the Active Industries First Start Traineeship Program ($20k to bring on a staff member for your club?

    Libby broke her heart and do gambling reforms go far enough?

    It's been a while since it's just been us on the mics so we wanted to take a minute to give the Sporties (who have sent so much love) a full update on what's been going with Libby's health. PLUS we wrap up of our Play Well season with the Australian Sports Commission (do you have a favourite? Don't make us choose!), unpack the gambling reforms coming to sports match near you and discuss the two Sportish things we learnt this week.

    PLAY WELL: Gen Muir wants to teach you how to be a better sideline parent

    Saturday sport can bring out the best in our kids… and the loudest in us. One minute they’re chasing the ball, the next they’re sitting in the grass making daisy chains. As a sideline parent, something in us flicks. Suddenly we’re “just giving tips” at a volume the entire suburb can hear.  Gen Muir is a parenting educator and mum of four boys. She shares her top tips on how you can support your kids without hijacking their game – right down to what you could say in the car on the drive home.   +++  Sportish is powered by the Australian Sports Commission and produced by Deadset Studios.   We’re spotlighting Australia’s sport participation strategy Play Well.

    PLAY WELL: Kieren Perkins on why sport is more than just gold medals

    Kieren Perkins knows what it takes to win (Atlanta 96, 1500m, ICONIC), but he’s far more interested in whether Australians are still playing sport at all.   As an Olympic champion and now CEO of the Australian Sports Commission, Kieren is urging us to be a nation of “doers” rather than just “watchers”.   If you want kids to love sport for life, it starts with participation, curiosity, and showing up.   +++  Sportish podcast is powered by the Australian Sports Commission and produced by Deadset Studios.   We’re spotlighting Australia’s sport participation strategy Play Well.

    PLAY WELL: How Rana Hussain is rewriting the rules of Australian sports culture

    Boxing Day can mean different things to different people – shopping the sales or eating endless Christmas leftovers. For many, the Boxing Day test is central to the day: family crowded around the TV, arguing over runs, soaking up the game.   For Rana Hussain, cricket gave that same sense of belonging. But in fact organised sport wasn’t really set-up for her. Whether it was the non-inclusive uniforms, the lack of knowledge of cultural expectations, or simply the lack of diversity in the food offered at sports clubs, Rana felt locked out of sport.   Today, Rana’s changing that. As founder of Good Human, she’s helped sporting organisations like Cricket Australia and various football clubs build spaces that are inclusive, welcoming, and community focused.  +++  Sportish is powered by the Australian Sports Commission, and produced by Deadset Studios.  We’re spotlighting Australia’s sport participation strategy Play Well.

    PLAY WELL: Ben Crowe wants you to play more in sport, and in life

    Before sport was graded, scored and analysed... what did you love to play? Not just do, but actually, play?  That feeling of joy, curiosity and being completely immersed in something is known as the 'play state'. Mindset coach Ben Crowe says most of us leave it behind far too early. As sport becomes organised, measured, and outcome-driven, we change from playing for love to playing for approval.  Redefining success and reconnecting with play is central to Ben’s work with athletes including tennis stars Ash Barty and Andre Agassi and surfer Molly Picklum. It's helped them transform their relationships with sport as a result.   Ben says play is as essential as sleep, so how do we bring more of it back, for ourselves and for our kids?  +++  Sportish is powered by the Australian Sports Commission and produced by Deadset Studios.    We’re spotlighting Australia’s sport participation strategy Play Well. You can find plenty more resources and information at ausport.gov.au/playwell.   Ben Crowe is the founder of Mojo Crowe, and author of Where the Light Gets In.   Sportish is hosted by Libby Trickett and Georgie Trickett, produced by Luci McAfee with sound design by Melissa May.

    PLAY WELL: Ellie Cole on the ripple effects of making sport genuinely accessible

    Swimmer Ellie Cole has spent most of her life adapting. Losing her leg aged three meant learning how to move differently, think differently, and push through moments most kids never face. That early resilience didn’t just make her a Paralympian - it shaped how she sees sport and who gets to take part in it.  Ellie’s clear about one thing: inclusive sporting spaces aren’t just for athletes with disabilities. When kids grow up training beside people with different bodies and different life experiences, they learn how to work with others, how to communicate, and how to build real community.  When more people can participate, everyone benefits. So if inclusion makes sport stronger, why not design every club that way?  +++  Sportish podcast is powered by the Australian Sports Commission and produced by Deadset Studios.   We’re spotlighting Australia’s sport participation strategy Play Well. You can find more resources at ausport.gov.au.   Ellie Coles’ book is Felix and His Fantastic Friends.   This episode was hosted by Libby Trickett and Georgie Trickett, produced by Luci McAfee with sound design by Melissa May.
