    Whether you're finding your way back to sport or working out how to manage the after-school sport chaos (tell us we’re not alone?!), EVERYONE has a place in sport—and we’re here to help you thrive in yours.  We’ve teamed back up with the Australian Sports Commission to bring more stories, tips, and inspiration to help you and your family keep the joy of sport alive. You’ll hear from Australia’s favourite parenting author Maggie Dent on how sport has never been more important in this digital age. Understand the mindset of comedian Adam Hills when he turned down the King so he could go to rugby league training. Discover what Turia Pitt thinks about when she’s out running (and how she teaches thousands of Aussie women to join her on the road). Plus, you’ll join the Jimmy Rees (aka Jimmy Giggle) school of coaching kid’s basketball.   Big names. Big laughs. Big honesty. Join us for another series of Sportish full of practical tips and real strategies the whole family can use to move more and really enjoy sport.  +++  This season of 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 more resources at ausport.gov.au.   This episode was hosted by Libby Trickett and Georgie Trickett, produced by Luci McAfee with sound design by Melissa May.

    The power of cycling with Sisters of the Saddle

    You know how much we love to hear about groups that are helping people of any age get involved with sport. So when we heard about Sisters of the Saddle and the work they do around cycling, where women gain so much confidence on the bike that they end up riding for 300km+, we wanted to know more. The best bit is the other people they help along the way - it's sport at its best!  If you're interested in find out more about Sisters of the Saddle  you can follow them on Instagram @sistersofthesaddle or get your tickets for their lunch at: https://events.humanitix.com/sots-spring-fashion-luncheon.

    Sportish Question Time! Rep trials, pathways and early signs of excellence

    We asked and the Sporties DELIVERED! It's Sportish Question Time! Think of it like catching up for a coffee with us and you've brought along a sports issue you need nutted out. On today's agenda - trialling for rep even when you're not good enough, development pathways, managing kids who are showing early signs of being excellent and what if compared to your peers you're just, well, average?  (Big thanks to all the Sporties that sent through questions - that fact that you're asking already means that you're doing great).  Libby and Georgie x PS Sporties - don't forget about the Active Industries First Start Traineeship Program ($20k to bring on a staff member for your club?

    Why we need to have a conversation about sport and gambling

    Gambling reform is everywhere at the moment - in the media, on your feed, and possibly, your what's a group. And in our opinion, that's sparking a very overdue conversation about gambling and it's relationship with sport. We also cover an amazing inclusive program being rolled out by Netball Queensland PLUS we get all academic (we'd appreciate it if you could hide your shock) and discuss a research article in The Conversation about early specialisation.  Links (as promised, you know Georgie's all over this): Luke Bateman on Australian Story Email your MP with your thoughts on gambling reform (www.stopgamblingads.com.au) Netball Queensland's inclusive netball program, The Blue Band Initiative My kid's becoming a junior football star - should they drop their other sports? - The Conversation PS Sporties - don't forget about the Active Industries First Start Traineeship Program ($20k to bring on a staff member for your club? Yes please!) head to Active Queenslanders Industry Alliance. ++ Sportish is hosted by Libby and Georgie Trickett, and edited by Ally Rasmussen.

    The Scott Miller documentary that hit Libby for six

    You know how much we love a sporting doco. Can't get to them fast enough. And the Scott Miller swimming documentary was no exception. Except, it's taken Libby a couple of weeks to actually talk about it. Miller was a swimming poster boy of the 90s who fell from favour and the public eye after he was arrested and jailed for his involvement in drugs and trafficking. And it's more relatable to than Libby had anticipated.  Deep End: The Scott Miller Story is available now on ABC iView PS Sporties - don't forget about the Active Industries First Start Traineeship Program ($20k to bring on a staff member for your club?

    Tour drug testing scandals, Comm Games feelings and how we talk about umpires

    The lead athletes in the Tour de France are being woken up in the middle of the night and Libby is unimpressed thank you very much. Georgie is baffled about how to feel about the Commonwealth Games and we get stuck into how we talk about umpires and referees off the back of some World Cup behaviour.

    Active holidays, World Cup confessions and Rafa's documentary

    The FIFA World Cup is on and we have some confessions to make. Georgie's family went on an active holiday that was wonderful and slightly disasterous all at the same time. We experience the critique levelled at women who dare to discuss sport and unpack all our feelings about Rafael Nadal's documentary.  PS Sporties - don't forget about the Active Industries First Start Traineeship Program ($20k to bring on a staff member for your club? Yes please!) head to Active Queenslanders Industry Alliance. ++ Sportish is hosted by Libby and Georgie Trickett, and edited by Ally Rasmussen.
