    Dec 17 2024

    From volleyball bikinis and short skirts to white gymnastics leotards, what do you do when you love the sport but HATE the uniform? We talk through the global movement to give women and girls more comfortable and flexible uniform options and how to bring change to your school or club.

  • Episode 7: What to do when... you're not competitive but everyone else is
    Dec 17 2024

    “It’s too competitive. It’s not fun anymore” — thousands of kids are dropping out of sport because the pressure to win is too great. So what do you do when you love playing sport but you don’t have that win-at-all-costs attitude? Bec, Georgie and Libby talk through strategies when you’re keen to play in a more chilled environment.

    Are you a club or association that provides a social sport option for teens? We want to hear from you! And we love answering listener questions so if there's something you'd like to ask us, shoot us a DM HERE or write us an email (we accept all things!) - hello@playonmedia.com.au

  • Episode 6: What to do when... your parents are embarrassing you on the sidelines
    Dec 17 2024

    A bit of shoosh, please. Abusive behaviour from parents towards kids and umpires is ruining sport for kids. Georgie, Libby and Bec talk through how to ask your parents to dial down their enthusiasm (or anger) and we ask parents to reflect on how they’re showing up for their kids on the sidelines and why winning is so important.
