Episode 8: What to do when... you don't feel comfortable in your uniform

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

“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?

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

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.

Episode 5: What to do when... it's game day and you get your period

Episode 4: What to do when... you're competing against your best friend

Well this is awkward.  What do you do when you’re competing against a friend? Libby once competed against two of her closest friends for a sport on the Australian team - so who got in?  We chat through how ‘winning’ actually looks really different for each of us.
