So it's quite funny. They really don't take 64 00:03:16,320 --> 00:03:17,880 Speaker 1: it for granted when they get the chance to do 65 00:03:17,919 --> 00:03:18,320 Speaker 1: it right. 66 00:03:18,639 --> 00:03:19,320 Speaker 3: Yeah, I love it. 67 00:03:19,440 --> 00:03:21,440 Speaker 2: A day after that victory, Jess was back in the 68 00:03:21,480 --> 00:03:25,880 Speaker 2: water for the Individual C one.

Nice shovel is the technical term in 83 00:04:12,240 --> 00:04:13,280 Speaker 3: case anyone was wondering. 84 00:04:13,760 --> 00:04:18,120 Speaker 2: Absolutely, so the Sea one, the individual Sea one. 85 00:04:18,200 --> 00:04:19,679 Speaker 3: Jess was in the boat. 86 00:04:19,760 --> 00:04:21,760 Speaker 2: She made an early mistake in her final run when 87 00:04:21,800 --> 00:04:24,080 Speaker 2: she touched the third gate, which meant she ended up 88 00:04:24,120 --> 00:04:28,120 Speaker 2: finishing third behind British pair of gold medalist Mallory Franklin 89 00:04:28,200 --> 00:04:29,760 Speaker 2: and second place Kimberly Woods. 90 00:04:30,520 --> 00:04:32,320 Speaker 3: Fox was the fastest to complete. 91 00:04:32,000 --> 00:04:34,960 Speaker 2: The course in one six point ninety four, but the 92 00:04:34,960 --> 00:04:37,640 Speaker 2: two second penalty for whacking that gate meant she slept 93 00:04:37,680 --> 00:04:41,200 Speaker 2: from first to third, ultimately finishing zero point eight nine 94 00:04:41,320 --> 00:04:45,560 Speaker 2: seconds behind winner Franklin. The result means Fox. The result 95 00:04:45,600 --> 00:04:49,240 Speaker 2: meant that Fox secured the Olympic quota spot, and she 96 00:04:49,839 --> 00:04:52,280 Speaker 2: referenced her mistake when she said, to come away with 97 00:04:52,320 --> 00:04:54,280 Speaker 2: the medal is awesome, although I am a little bit 98 00:04:54,279 --> 00:04:56,840 Speaker 2: frustrated with my touch which kept me off the top step, 99 00:04:57,320 --> 00:04:59,279 Speaker 2: but it's still awesome to come away with another medal. 100 00:04:59,360 --> 00:05:01,120 Speaker 2: It's been a big build up and it's never easy 101 00:05:01,160 --> 00:05:03,599 Speaker 2: to go and get a quota and I was and 102 00:05:03,640 --> 00:05:05,640 Speaker 2: it was super tight racing this morning, So to get 103 00:05:05,640 --> 00:05:07,760 Speaker 2: that out of the way, I'm really relieved. I'm thrilled 104 00:05:07,760 --> 00:05:10,599 Speaker 2: to be heading to Paris. It will be Fox's fourth 105 00:05:10,640 --> 00:05:12,560 Speaker 2: Olympic Games. It's pretty impressive, isn't it. 106 00:05:12,880 --> 00:05:15,280 Speaker 1: Absolutely she is the paddle goat. 107 00:05:15,240 --> 00:05:17,599 Speaker 3: And she was not done there on Sunday morning, Aussie time. 108 00:05:18,600 --> 00:05:21,039 Speaker 2: She won her fourteenth World Championship gold medal when she 109 00:05:21,120 --> 00:05:24,560 Speaker 2: beat everyone home in the K one kayak double shovel. 110 00:05:25,040 --> 00:05:27,360 Speaker 2: Her time of one oh three point six seconds was 111 00:05:27,520 --> 00:05:32,000 Speaker 2: enough for victory over Slovakian Aliska Mintalova, who posted a 112 00:05:32,000 --> 00:05:35,280 Speaker 2: time of one oh four point seventy three. Fox was 113 00:05:35,360 --> 00:05:37,760 Speaker 2: last to go in the final after crushing the field 114 00:05:37,839 --> 00:05:40,800 Speaker 2: in the semi In her semi final run but didn't have. 115 00:05:40,760 --> 00:05:41,880 Speaker 3: The greatest of starts again. 116 00:05:41,960 --> 00:05:44,760 Speaker 2: She kit gate one this time and incurred another two 117 00:05:44,760 --> 00:05:48,880 Speaker 2: second penalty. Luckily, Mintalova also hit a gate during her run, 118 00:05:48,960 --> 00:05:50,400 Speaker 2: so Fox just had to keep the rest of her 119 00:05:50,480 --> 00:05:53,560 Speaker 2: run clean and her speed would absolutely take care of 120 00:05:53,560 --> 00:05:54,480 Speaker 2: the rest, which it did. 121 00:05:55,000 --> 00:05:55,400 Speaker 3: In the end. 122 00:05:55,440 --> 00:05:57,839 Speaker 2: She was more than a second better than Slovakian and 123 00:05:57,880 --> 00:05:59,600 Speaker 2: said she was aware of the need to be fast 124 00:05:59,600 --> 00:06:02,719 Speaker 2: for the rest the course, stating, I really didn't start 125 00:06:02,800 --> 00:06:04,719 Speaker 2: well and then just really try to attack it and 126 00:06:04,760 --> 00:06:08,640 Speaker 2: take some risks, and even until the last gate, it 127 00:06:08,839 --> 00:06:11,240 Speaker 2: was very sketchy and I was very nervous. I was 128 00:06:11,400 --> 00:06:13,560 Speaker 2: really pushing the lines and trying to be tight and 129 00:06:13,600 --> 00:06:18,240 Speaker 2: give it everything I had. She was really quite emotional 130 00:06:18,760 --> 00:06:20,920 Speaker 2: after I think we said full time after her race. 131 00:06:21,080 --> 00:06:22,559 Speaker 3: You see that on the footage club. 132 00:06:23,600 --> 00:06:27,160 Speaker 1: Yeah, it was. There was some serious passion from her 133 00:06:27,200 --> 00:06:30,560 Speaker 1: at full time with the teammates, it was. It was 134 00:06:30,600 --> 00:06:34,000 Speaker 1: really cool because I think I think ten individual world 135 00:06:34,080 --> 00:06:37,480 Speaker 1: titles is a pretty huge milestone, isn't it huge? 136 00:06:37,520 --> 00:06:40,719 Speaker 2: And she said that she was. She said, I can't 137 00:06:40,720 --> 00:06:43,320 Speaker 2: believe I won to day, it's amazing. I'm overwhelmed, so emotional. 138 00:06:43,400 --> 00:06:45,440 Speaker 2: A bad word went through my head on gate one. 139 00:06:45,680 --> 00:06:46,560 Speaker 3: I wonder what it was. 140 00:06:47,080 --> 00:06:50,400 Speaker 2: So I held it together and my goodness, it was 141 00:06:50,400 --> 00:06:52,640 Speaker 2: a crazy race. I had some family in the crowd, 142 00:06:52,640 --> 00:06:53,960 Speaker 2: so it was really special to be able to go 143 00:06:54,000 --> 00:06:56,400 Speaker 2: and give them a big hug. My granddad was here 144 00:06:56,440 --> 00:06:58,680 Speaker 2: and he stood up out of his wheelchair up at 145 00:06:58,720 --> 00:07:00,400 Speaker 2: the top of the hill and I ran up scene. 146 00:07:00,800 --> 00:07:03,080 Speaker 2: So it definitely made me tear in emotional being able 147 00:07:03,080 --> 00:07:05,560 Speaker 2: to share it with them and share it with my teammates. 148 00:07:05,560 --> 00:07:08,159 Speaker 3: It was super special. Now cool love that for you, Jess. 149 00:07:08,200 --> 00:07:08,880 Speaker 3: It was so cool. 150 00:07:09,120 --> 00:07:12,880 Speaker 1: In NRLW in the first semi final, the Newcastle Knights 151 00:07:13,000 --> 00:07:16,240 Speaker 1: kept their title defense hopes alive when they wrapped up 152 00:07:16,240 --> 00:07:19,000 Speaker 1: a Grand Final spot with a thrilling thirty to twenty 153 00:07:19,000 --> 00:07:22,000 Speaker 1: four win over Brisbane at home. The Knights got out 154 00:07:22,040 --> 00:07:25,040 Speaker 1: to an early eighteen near lead after only eighteen minutes. 155 00:07:25,040 --> 00:07:26,880 Speaker 1: They got out quick out of the blox and they 156 00:07:27,120 --> 00:07:30,160 Speaker 1: but the Broncos fought back strongly in the second half, 157 00:07:30,480 --> 00:07:34,080 Speaker 1: getting to within one converted try with nine minutes to play, 158 00:07:34,400 --> 00:07:37,040 Speaker 1: but the Knights held on and once again Tomika Upton 159 00:07:37,360 --> 00:07:40,400 Speaker 1: was immense. She scored one try and set up two 160 00:07:40,680 --> 00:07:45,280 Speaker 1: more to go with twelve tackle bus, three line breaks 161 00:07:45,280 --> 00:07:50,000 Speaker 1: and over two hundred running meters. Jesse Southwell nailed five 162 00:07:50,040 --> 00:07:53,240 Speaker 1: from five with the boot and the kicking proved the differences. 163 00:07:53,280 --> 00:07:56,400 Speaker 1: Both teams finished with five tries. That's pretty impressive, isn't it. 164 00:07:56,440 --> 00:07:59,560 Speaker 1: She's been She's been pretty clutch all season, Jesse.

I was I know 171 00:08:17,280 --> 00:08:20,280 Speaker 1: we've discussed the Roosters having some injury concerns, but I 172 00:08:20,320 --> 00:08:21,520 Speaker 1: was surprised by that result. 173 00:08:21,520 --> 00:08:25,000 Speaker 2: Bez, Yeah, I think it was so close. I actually, well, 174 00:08:25,320 --> 00:08:26,080 Speaker 2: I say I watched it. 175 00:08:26,120 --> 00:08:26,360 Speaker 3: I did. 176 00:08:26,360 --> 00:08:27,720 Speaker 2: I had it on the other screen while I was 177 00:08:27,720 --> 00:08:31,640 Speaker 2: doing the research last night, and I think it was 178 00:08:31,680 --> 00:08:34,840 Speaker 2: just so tight that Gold Coast got the try and 179 00:08:34,880 --> 00:08:39,000 Speaker 2: then they just really negated each other all match. Millie 180 00:08:39,000 --> 00:08:41,440 Speaker 2: Boyle was definitely carrying that shoulder a bit. You could 181 00:08:41,440 --> 00:08:45,160 Speaker 2: tell they did have some injuries, obviously missing players, but 182 00:08:45,200 --> 00:08:47,120 Speaker 2: even to the players out there, you saw they were 183 00:08:47,160 --> 00:08:51,199 Speaker 2: probably a bit hampered. But also let's talk about the Titans. 184 00:08:51,240 --> 00:08:52,080 Speaker 2: They were huge. 185 00:08:52,320 --> 00:08:56,360 Speaker 1: They were absolutely huge. They won twelve nil to reach 186 00:08:56,400 --> 00:09:00,880 Speaker 1: their first NRLW Grant Final, a monumental turner after collecting 187 00:09:00,880 --> 00:09:02,640 Speaker 1: the Wooden Spoon in twenty twenty two. I love a 188 00:09:02,640 --> 00:09:06,520 Speaker 1: good comeback story. Titans fullback Avanni and Paliti was outstanding 189 00:09:06,600 --> 00:09:09,720 Speaker 1: as always, running for two hundred and sixty two meters 190 00:09:09,720 --> 00:09:13,760 Speaker 1: and breaking seven tackle shears so hard to tackle. Titans 191 00:09:13,800 --> 00:09:16,240 Speaker 1: captain Georgia Hale got through a mountain of work in 192 00:09:16,280 --> 00:09:20,320 Speaker 1: defense with fifty seven tackles. I loved this one, Bez. 193 00:09:20,720 --> 00:09:23,960 Speaker 1: Titans coach Karen Murphy will become the first female coach 194 00:09:24,040 --> 00:09:26,640 Speaker 1: to lead a team in an NROLW decider. How cool 195 00:09:26,679 --> 00:09:29,080 Speaker 1: is that because we often talk about the imports of 196 00:09:29,920 --> 00:09:33,840 Speaker 1: pathways visibility opportunities for female athletes, but it's also important 197 00:09:33,840 --> 00:09:36,280 Speaker 1: in coaching and administration as well. So really cool to 198 00:09:36,280 --> 00:09:38,440 Speaker 1: see and massive congrats to Karen on that one. 199 00:09:38,600 --> 00:09:40,719 Speaker 2: Future grats and can we get a tip please for 200 00:09:40,760 --> 00:09:42,520 Speaker 2: the Grand Final on the weekend from your klo. 201 00:09:43,200 --> 00:09:46,560 Speaker 1: I'm just gonna.

We had to tie 245 00:11:52,120 --> 00:11:54,760 Speaker 2: up a few things and it was pretty impressive.

I think they would have been pretty to come 249 00:12:00,559 --> 00:12:02,920 Speaker 1: away with that win those two. I think that that 250 00:12:02,960 --> 00:12:05,440 Speaker 1: would have felt pretty sweet for them and interesting to see. 251 00:12:05,480 --> 00:12:08,800 Speaker 1: I was chatting to m Bates this morning, former Brisbane 252 00:12:08,800 --> 00:12:13,440 Speaker 1: Lions player best and Pharaoh's winner, who is taking on 253 00:12:13,480 --> 00:12:15,640 Speaker 1: the lines.

There's always a bit of extra passion in it, 257 00:12:22,000 --> 00:12:22,480 Speaker 1: isn't there. 258 00:12:23,280 --> 00:12:25,080 Speaker 3: She's the vice captain of my fantasy team. 259 00:12:25,400 --> 00:12:26,160 Speaker 1: Who's the captain? 260 00:12:26,200 --> 00:12:29,200 Speaker 2: If acted anyone was worried about who my vice captain was, 261 00:12:29,520 --> 00:12:32,160 Speaker 2: you are actually yes, pull. 262 00:12:32,040 --> 00:12:35,959 Speaker 1: Your locks up, sort it out, will you off the field. 263 00:12:36,080 --> 00:12:39,319 Speaker 1: The AFL and AFOW players have agreed to a new 264 00:12:39,440 --> 00:12:41,440 Speaker 1: five year joint pay deal with the league under a 265 00:12:41,559 --> 00:12:45,600 Speaker 1: historic new joint Collective Bargaining Agreement CBA signed on Thursday. 266 00:12:45,760 --> 00:12:48,200 Speaker 1: Here are the key takeaways from the new deal. The 267 00:12:48,240 --> 00:12:50,120 Speaker 1: new deal will run until the end of the twenty 268 00:12:50,200 --> 00:12:53,720 Speaker 1: twenty seven season. Male players will receive an instant boost 269 00:12:53,760 --> 00:12:56,440 Speaker 1: of ten percent back paid for the twenty twenty three season, 270 00:12:56,520 --> 00:12:59,840 Speaker 1: while female players pay will increase by twenty nine percent 271 00:13:00,120 --> 00:13:03,640 Speaker 1: twenty twenty three. By the twenty twenty seven season, the 272 00:13:03,760 --> 00:13:07,800 Speaker 1: average AFL men's player salary will be approximately five hundred 273 00:13:07,840 --> 00:13:11,480 Speaker 1: and nineteen thousand dollars, up from three hundred and eighty 274 00:13:11,520 --> 00:13:13,959 Speaker 1: seven thousand dollars in twenty twenty two. It's quite a 275 00:13:13,960 --> 00:13:16,600 Speaker 1: lot of money. Half a million dollar average. The average 276 00:13:16,640 --> 00:13:20,680 Speaker 1: AFOW player salary will be eighty two thousand dollars, up 277 00:13:20,800 --> 00:13:25,240 Speaker 1: from forty six thousand dollars in twenty twenty three. Good 278 00:13:25,280 --> 00:13:27,920 Speaker 1: progress again and often be as we chat about that 279 00:13:28,240 --> 00:13:30,400 Speaker 1: minimum tier. For me, that's one of the most important 280 00:13:30,400 --> 00:13:32,679 Speaker 1: things is bringing that minimum tier up so that players 281 00:13:32,679 --> 00:13:36,760 Speaker 1: can have a livable salary, liverable wage. But it is 282 00:13:36,840 --> 00:13:38,840 Speaker 1: quite a stark contrast when you look at those numbers 283 00:13:38,840 --> 00:13:39,800 Speaker 1: next to each other, isn't it. 284 00:13:40,800 --> 00:13:43,079 Speaker 2: Yeah, the disparity is real when you put them when 285 00:13:43,080 --> 00:13:46,000 Speaker 2: you read them out like that together, five hundred and 286 00:13:46,040 --> 00:13:51,439 Speaker 2: nineteen thousand average is some seriously good coin, especially when 287 00:13:51,440 --> 00:13:54,280 Speaker 2: you say that that's the average, so there's half of 288 00:13:54,320 --> 00:13:59,040 Speaker 2: the competition news on more than that, and against eighty 289 00:13:59,080 --> 00:14:02,160 Speaker 2: two thousand dollars average, which again you know, mainty two 290 00:14:02,200 --> 00:14:06,080 Speaker 2: thousand dollars. If you told any female athlete I think 291 00:14:06,440 --> 00:14:09,920 Speaker 2: playing the sport, playing sport today or even five years ago, 292 00:14:10,000 --> 00:14:11,840 Speaker 2: that you get a two grand for playing sport, they'd 293 00:14:11,840 --> 00:14:16,880 Speaker 2: be stoked. But again, it's just when you put those 294 00:14:16,960 --> 00:14:19,200 Speaker 2: numbers next to each other, they're so far apart. 295 00:14:19,400 --> 00:14:20,200 Speaker 3: But it is, like you. 296 00:14:20,200 --> 00:14:23,280 Speaker 2: Said, it's really so important that that average is a 297 00:14:23,320 --> 00:14:26,800 Speaker 2: livable wage and it is enough money for someone to 298 00:14:26,880 --> 00:14:29,480 Speaker 2: not have to work a second job, because that is 299 00:14:29,560 --> 00:14:33,120 Speaker 2: really what's holding us back in regards to developing the 300 00:14:33,160 --> 00:14:35,560 Speaker 2: product that everyone keeps bagging on about being better? 301 00:14:36,600 --> 00:14:38,200 Speaker 3: You know, give us the time to make it better, 302 00:14:38,280 --> 00:14:39,520 Speaker 3: and guess what it will get better. 303 00:14:40,480 --> 00:14:43,240 Speaker 1: This episode is brought to you by the athletes Foot, 304 00:14:43,600 --> 00:14:48,160 Speaker 1: proudly supporting women in sport since nineteen seventy six.

Now that's fit. 308 00:15:01,280 --> 00:15:04,600 Speaker 1: The AFLW season length will increase to twelve rounds in 309 00:15:04,640 --> 00:15:08,200 Speaker 1: twenty twenty five and potentially to fourteen rounds in twenty 310 00:15:08,280 --> 00:15:12,640 Speaker 1: twenty seven, based on achieving key audience metrics. The statement 311 00:15:12,680 --> 00:15:16,440 Speaker 1: advised that the metrics will be modeled off metrics achieved 312 00:15:16,480 --> 00:15:19,360 Speaker 1: in the season two so back in twenty eighteen, which 313 00:15:19,400 --> 00:15:22,640 Speaker 1: at its most basic level saw on average six thousand 314 00:15:22,640 --> 00:15:25,880 Speaker 1: fans a game and one hundred thousand broadcast viewers. The 315 00:15:25,920 --> 00:15:29,440 Speaker 1: afl and afl PA will now work together on executing 316 00:15:29,480 --> 00:15:32,960 Speaker 1: an accelerated marketing plan designed to build greater support for 317 00:15:33,000 --> 00:15:37,000 Speaker 1: the AFLW competition. So on that one again, Bez, We 318 00:15:37,040 --> 00:15:40,800 Speaker 1: often talk about the marketing and the important. It's importance 319 00:15:40,960 --> 00:15:44,360 Speaker 1: for women's sporting events, and I think we now have 320 00:15:44,520 --> 00:15:49,400 Speaker 1: multiple case studies globally of sporting bodies and brands that 321 00:15:49,480 --> 00:15:52,160 Speaker 1: have done it incredibly well and have seen the results 322 00:15:52,200 --> 00:15:54,760 Speaker 1: of that investment into the marketing and some really clever 323 00:15:54,800 --> 00:15:57,840 Speaker 1: storytelling and strategies. So I look forward to seeing what 324 00:15:57,880 --> 00:16:00,240 Speaker 1: that accelerated marketing plan looks like in the results that 325 00:16:00,280 --> 00:16:03,320 Speaker 1: can come from that as well. A really cool one 326 00:16:03,560 --> 00:16:08,160 Speaker 1: is the increased certainty with twelve month contracts implemented and 327 00:16:08,200 --> 00:16:12,360 Speaker 1: the ability to sign multi year contracts. And also there's 328 00:16:12,360 --> 00:16:15,880 Speaker 1: a pregnancy policy piece there is, which is a good one. 329 00:16:15,920 --> 00:16:17,840 Speaker 1: I don't know the exact details of that, but it's 330 00:16:18,160 --> 00:16:21,160 Speaker 1: it's a really it's a really positive move and something 331 00:16:21,160 --> 00:16:23,520 Speaker 1: that I'm very passionate about. So great to see that included, 332 00:16:23,560 --> 00:16:26,960 Speaker 1: and some incredible work done by the AFL Players Association 333 00:16:27,680 --> 00:16:31,480 Speaker 1: to really tick off some things that were really important 334 00:16:31,480 --> 00:16:36,680 Speaker 1: to the playing group. So a really positive progression overall. 335 00:16:36,880 --> 00:16:38,720 Speaker 2: Yeah, and I just want to say, I think, touching 336 00:16:38,760 --> 00:16:43,240 Speaker 2: on that, those season metrics, so the audience key audience 337 00:16:43,280 --> 00:16:43,800 Speaker 2: metrics that. 338 00:16:43,760 --> 00:16:46,040 Speaker 3: You spoke about there, Cli You're absolutely right. 339 00:16:46,080 --> 00:16:49,280 Speaker 2: I could not agree more that the AFL has a 340 00:16:49,360 --> 00:16:55,280 Speaker 2: responsibility to execute a really good marketing plan about how 341 00:16:55,360 --> 00:16:58,560 Speaker 2: to sell the game as well as that not but 342 00:16:58,560 --> 00:17:01,320 Speaker 2: but also as well, I think this is a great 343 00:17:01,360 --> 00:17:04,679 Speaker 2: opportunity for the people, for the fans to actually say 344 00:17:05,400 --> 00:17:08,000 Speaker 2: to say, let's go out there and let's do this 345 00:17:08,080 --> 00:17:11,320 Speaker 2: Like this is they've given us almost like a challenge, 346 00:17:11,359 --> 00:17:13,480 Speaker 2: like can we get six thousand fans at a game? 347 00:17:13,840 --> 00:17:15,679 Speaker 2: Can we make sure we're watching all the sports? And 348 00:17:15,720 --> 00:17:17,760 Speaker 2: if you do that, then guess what will give you 349 00:17:17,800 --> 00:17:20,080 Speaker 2: some more footy? So it's almost like a call to arms, 350 00:17:20,119 --> 00:17:22,520 Speaker 2: and I'm here for it. Like I love that there's 351 00:17:22,520 --> 00:17:26,399 Speaker 2: actually some measurable targets there. Yes, AFL has to do 352 00:17:26,440 --> 00:17:28,359 Speaker 2: the heavy lifting your regards to marketing, but I just 353 00:17:28,400 --> 00:17:33,320 Speaker 2: think maybe it's the that side of my personality, but 354 00:17:33,320 --> 00:17:36,040 Speaker 2: I just love the fact that there's some actual targets 355 00:17:36,080 --> 00:17:38,120 Speaker 2: that we can go out there and promote and hit. 356 00:17:38,320 --> 00:17:41,439 Speaker 2: And I'm looking forward to being those people in the 357 00:17:41,440 --> 00:17:43,560 Speaker 2: crowds and on the tell and watching on the tellies. 358 00:17:44,080 --> 00:17:46,119 Speaker 1: Yeah, that is That's actually a really good point and 359 00:17:46,160 --> 00:17:47,640 Speaker 1: a cool way to look at it.

Together, we will 367 00:18:07,280 --> 00:18:10,280 Speaker 2: focus on expanding crowds and TV audience for the women's 368 00:18:10,320 --> 00:18:12,919 Speaker 2: competition while working to engage more women and girls to 369 00:18:12,920 --> 00:18:16,320 Speaker 2: take up football.

You love to see it. 463 00:22:46,760 --> 00:22:47,800 Speaker 3: Yeah, it's fantastic. 464 00:22:48,160 --> 00:22:50,320 Speaker 1: Let's take a look at the key story. 465 00:22:51,240 --> 00:22:52,520 Speaker 3: In some more cricket news. 466 00:22:52,920 --> 00:22:55,760 Speaker 2: Cricket New Stuffas has launched a girls only programming multiple 467 00:22:55,760 --> 00:22:59,080 Speaker 2: formats across the state.

I love the names they give these programs. 470 00:23:06,080 --> 00:23:08,919 Speaker 2: It's really clever, Cricket Blast. It's just got to make 471 00:23:08,920 --> 00:23:11,400 Speaker 2: it attractive for the kids. There will also be more 472 00:23:11,400 --> 00:23:14,480 Speaker 2: females coaching the game thanks to New Soupal's governments. She 473 00:23:14,680 --> 00:23:17,840 Speaker 2: can play grant that Cricket New so fALS received to 474 00:23:17,920 --> 00:23:22,280 Speaker 2: increase and improve female coaching. Ten associations in Sydney and 475 00:23:22,320 --> 00:23:27,080 Speaker 2: the regions will have female teams coached by female coaches. Interestingly, 476 00:23:27,400 --> 00:23:29,720 Speaker 2: they are working with other sports to encourage girls to 477 00:23:29,760 --> 00:23:32,879 Speaker 2: transition to cricket from the winter sports they're currently playing. 478 00:23:33,480 --> 00:23:36,000 Speaker 2: I like that Lola cross pollination strategy. I think that's 479 00:23:36,040 --> 00:23:40,359 Speaker 2: something that more sports should look into, because you want 480 00:23:40,720 --> 00:23:43,040 Speaker 2: athletes to be playing year round, especially when they're kids. 481 00:23:43,160 --> 00:23:45,440 Speaker 2: You know, they should have a winter in a summer sport. 482 00:23:45,480 --> 00:23:47,200 Speaker 2: And I think it's really it would be really great 483 00:23:47,600 --> 00:23:50,040 Speaker 2: if say, sports like cricket and football and rugby and 484 00:23:50,040 --> 00:23:52,840 Speaker 2: stuff could work together and effectively share players. 485 00:23:53,320 --> 00:23:53,919 Speaker 3: I'm here for it. 486 00:23:54,000 --> 00:23:56,960 Speaker 1: Yeah. I don't know if it's my own personal experience 487 00:23:57,080 --> 00:23:59,200 Speaker 1: research or if it's actual research, but I think it's 488 00:23:59,320 --> 00:24:01,320 Speaker 1: very healthy for kids to play a range of different 489 00:24:01,320 --> 00:24:04,159 Speaker 1: sports rather than just pigeonholing really early into the one sport. 490 00:24:04,320 --> 00:24:06,080 Speaker 2: I like it's that your personal research is in like 491 00:24:06,119 --> 00:24:07,760 Speaker 2: your your life, your lived research. 492 00:24:08,480 --> 00:24:12,600 Speaker 3: Yes, that that do.
