    Lessons for kids (and parents!) in sport with former pro tennis player and coach Todd Perry

    Lessons for kids (and parents!) in sport with former pro tennis player and coach Todd Perry

    What do you think is one of the main reasons most kids quit sport? While you're pondering, just absorb this statistic: each year millions upon millions of children register for competitive sports; about 70 per cent of those will quit by age 13.
    While you watching your kiddos run around on the  footy field or basketball court this morning, before you drive off to another sideline on the other side of the city, do you think your child will be among the 30 per cent who stick at it?
    In his debut book, One Chance - Lessons in Sport, Life and Success, former professional tennis player Todd Perry shares compelling insights into the journey that led to his success in the world’s most prestigious tournaments. Drawing on a lifetime’s experience as an elite competitor, coach and educator, he reveals surprising truths about why too many young athletes are withdrawing from sport - and what we can do to prevent it.
    Now a tennis coach and educator back home in Adelaide, Perry’s book reveals powerful insights into common misconceptions about success and what it takes to ‘make it’.
    In this episode we chat to Todd about kids in sport and some of his sometimes surprising insights like less is more, the importance of mindfulness, and how parents and coaches can work better together for exceptional results.

    Labour Pain Management with specialist obstetrician Professor Stephen Tong

    Labour Pain Management with specialist obstetrician Professor Stephen Tong

    Epidural. Laughing gas. Morphine. Tens Machine. Acupuncture. Water injection. There's a proverbial smorgasbord of pain management  options for pregnant women in the throes of labour, but if you're an expecting parent, how much do you know about each of them?

    Every woman will have an idea or a plan on what methods they want to use to get through their birth experience... of course this might all fall by the wayside when you’re actually in the delivery suite but it’s important to be informed and know what your options are. Whether you're aiming for a completely natural birth or want an epidural the moment you step foot in the hospital there’s a whole spectrum of pain relief in between that you probably want to be across so you can go in feeling empowered by understanding the different options available to you.

    In this episode we welcome Professor Stephen Tong, leading academic Obstetrician  and author of THE BIRTH BOOK to talk about all things pain relief for birth. Stephen takes us through the whole spectrum of options available for women during labour, how and when each method is administered, the pros and cons, effectiveness and associated risks. 

    Tong’s practical and expert approach is free of agenda – it has no staunch philosophies on how women should approach their own birth. He simply aims to arm women with insightful information, empowering them for this most special of life events.

    What happens during labour exactly? Will I tear? Are epidurals safe? Why are caesars even needed?

    Stephen’s book, The Birth Book covers concepts Prof. Tong believes expectant women and their supportive partners would really like to know well. Such as why caesars and forceps are needed, what inducing labour actually is, how episiotomies and tears are mended among other topics.

Drawing on his extensive experience as a leading obstetrician and international researcher into safe childbirth, Professor Stephen Tong guides you through vital information to help prepare for a safe and happy birth day.
    Simply written and accessible, the pages are packed with information and real-life stories covering:
    The stages of labour and birthHow different forms of pain relief, including epidurals, workInduction of labour and assisted birthMonitoring of the baby and motherPost childbirth recoveryProfessor Tong carefully and simply breaks down the evidence and facts to provide you with everything you need to know to turn anxiety and trepidation about childbirth into confidence, empowerment, and cherished, life-long memories.
