In this episode of the Advancing Women in Sport podcast, I interviewed Suzie Betts, the founder of Boob Armour. Boob Armour is revolutionary protective gear specially designed for women athletes. The idea for Boob Armor was born out of Suzie's personal health scare, which highlighted a significant gap in sports safety for women's breasts. The mission of Boob Armour is to reduce breast injuries and provide women in sports with both protection and confidence. Despite facing industry resistance and challenges in initiating targeted research, Betts is a staunch advocate for gender-specific safety gear. The conversation throws light on the lack of a systemic approach to breast protection in sports, which is supported by research indicating a high prevalence of breast injuries among women athletes. This episode is a call to action for sports administrators and decision-makers to include Boob Armour in safety protocols, emphasising the importance of prioritising women athletes' health and safety. Through Suzie's advocacy, the podcast underscores the urgent need for solutions like Boob Armour. It advocates for a safer, more inclusive sporting environment where women's specific safety needs are acknowledged and addressed.

In this episode of the Advancing Women in Sports podcast, I was delighted to chat with Ellen Connor, a pioneering NCCP-certified level one boxing Canada coach and the founder of a non-profit Boxing Club and West Coast Wonder Women. Ellen shared her unique journey, starting with her experiences in the Canadian Navy at 19, where she first encountered the stark realities of gender inequality. This early exposure to a male-dominated environment shaped her resolve to create equitable opportunities for women in sports, particularly boxing.
Ellen's entry into the boxing world began as a means to rebuild her self-confidence after personal challenges. Her first boxing match at 40 was a transformative experience, igniting her passion to advocate for women's opportunities in the sport. She observed how female boxers often fight for reasons beyond competition – seeking empowerment, resilience, and self-affirmation. Recognising the lack of platforms for women in boxing, she established the West Coast Wonder Women, an inclusive event offering a stage for female boxers of all backgrounds and ages.
Ellen's advocacy extends beyond the ring. She emphasises the importance of redefining success in sports, advocating for inclusivity and equality, and challenging the status quo in male-dominated domains. Her efforts reflect a commitment to fostering talent and building a supportive community where women uplift each other. Ellen's story is a testament to the power of women's resilience and her leadership in creating inclusive spaces in sports.

A proponent of the quota system, she highlighted the importance of creating distinct pathways for women's leadership positions. Diana emphasised the necessity of a robust support network and maintaining professional poise in the face of adversity. Our discussion also touched upon the responsibility of sports administrators to foster gender-inclusive environments and the usefulness of skills matrices in evaluating team dynamics.

In this episode of the Advancing Women in Sport podcast, I had the pleasure of speaking with Jordan Robinson, a remarkable freelance writer and host in the sports journalism world. Based in Los Angeles, Jordan's contributions have been featured in GQ and Essence, and she co-hosts the engaging podcast ""Queens of the Court"" with Sheryl Swoopes.
My conversation with Jordan explored her journey from a basketball-loving young woman to a prominent voice in sports journalism. Her dedication to highlighting the WNBA and women's sports stems from personal experiences and a deep understanding of the need for representation in sports media.
Jordan's path was challenging; she faced scepticism and pressure to conform to traditional sports narratives. Her determination to spotlight the WNBA and her focus on human stories within sports are inspiring. As a woman of colour, she emphasises the importance of sharing the often-overlooked stories of black women athletes.
We discussed the challenges and triumphs of being a trailblazer in sports media. Jordan's story is a testament to resilience, understanding your own worth, and the significance of a supportive network.

Tarik Bayrakli was a banker and is now an active advocate for respect and social inclusion in sport. Tarik is the Manager of the Victorian Women’s Trust harm prevention sports initiative, Club Respect, and runs a sports adventure camp for at-risk African-Australian teenage girls and boys. In his spare time he plays social-league Futsal, loves hanging out with his 2 kids and laments the poor performance of his beloved Carlton Blues.
Club Respect is a national harm-prevention initiative by the Dugdale Trust for Women & Girls, of which the Victorian Women’s Trust is Trustee. Club Respect aims to eliminate bullying, sexism, racism, abuse or violence from sport through various programs and frameworks.
We discuss how Tarik, as a man, has come to work in the gender equality sector, the barriers he faces when helping sport to dismantle harmful patriarchal attitudes and what his call to action is for all people in sport, especially those with power and influence.

You may not be surprised that women athletes receive more online abuse than their male counterparts. However, you may be surprised (and appalled) that women in sport are 2.6 x more likely to receive abuse online than men in sport. With women's sport on an inexorable rise, and with it the profile of women athletes, it is now time to turn our attention to what we do to protect them from harmful online abuse.
Jacqueline Comer, one of the co-founders of Areto Labs, joins me in a discussion about how the worlds of politics, technology, artificial intelligence, and sport collide in a way that benefits women. We discuss why it's so important for sports administrators to take proactive steps to protect their athletes and their communities of fans and, importantly, how they can do that.

Chloe Dalton decided to take action on gender inequality by using her platform as a triple-code elite athlete. She did that by creating The Female Athlete Project (in her Mum and Dads garage) to shine a light on the positive achievements of women athletes. TFAP has a podcast, social media channels, merch and much more with a lofty goal: to increase the number of people following women's sport.
I loved this conversation because Chloe provides practical advice for any of us who want to positively impact women in sport, as well as a HUGE call to action for sporting administrators around Australia.
About Chloe
Chloe Dalton is a three-code elite athlete, having participated at the top level in AFLW, Basketball and Rugby 7’s. After playing basketball in the WNBL with the Sydney Uni Flames, Chloe transitioned to Rugby, where she debuted for the Australian Rugby 7s team in 2014.
At the Rio 2016 Olympics, Chloe won Gold with the Australian 7s team and was awarded an Order of Australia Medal for Service to Sport. She was also recognised as Australia’s top Rugby 7s player in 2017, winning the Shawn Mackay Medal. Chloe then crossed codes again to Aussie rules, making her debut in 2019 for Carlton in the AFLW.

Matt Hammond works in one of the most patriarchal sectors in sports, the sports betting industry. He is determined to use his privilege as a young, white, straight, cis-gender man to improve not only his organisation and the sector but also to help shift attitudes about women by standing up for women's rights.
Matt is a great example of someone who is privileged yet is intentionally and continuously learning about gender equity, putting his learning into action, and then doing some more learning.
His key advice? For more male athletes to stand up for equality, for more men to stop and really listen to women and that it’s ok to stuff up, as long as you keep going.

Kerry Harris is the founding Chair of Women Onside, a membership group that advocates on behalf of women in football and for women’s football. The organisation commenced in 2017 as a response to the governance issues at Football Australia and FIFA and to ensure that women were part of the discussion and were influencing decisions being made about football (soccer) in Australia. Women Onside have achieved some remarkable outcomes in their comparatively short life, including successfully lobbying for constitutional change that supports gender quality. In addition to sharing how that was achieved, Kerry shares with me how to really get stuck into the patriarchy by changing the system of sport right from the very top. And yes, folks, we talk about quotas and the enablers of a successful quota system to change the system! We also discuss the value of networks and networking when you’re dismantling the boys club, as well as a surprising and delightful fact that I didn’t know about Kerry.

Like many of my other guests, Gen Dohrmann has had a lifetime in and around sport. She is now CEO of Table Tennis Australia and President of Women Sport Australia and has held numerous roles in her career, predominantly in sport. The gold in our interview is the work Gen is doing in her role at Women Sport Australia. Firstly how WSA has proactively taken the role to connect people in sport, across Australia, with each other to share information about how to advance women and girls in sport. Fragmentation is the enemy of change, and fortunately, Gen and the WSA board saw a need to perform this connecting role so that people in sports were not reinventing the wheel when it comes to gender equality in sport. Secondly we talk about the annual WISPPA awards, an outstanding initiative by WSA to showcase women athletes in all their glory, rather than in the sexualized, airbrushed way that women have traditionally been portrayed. We also have a discussion about mentoring and sponsorship, how it has enabled Gen’s career, and how she is now giving back through her volunteer work on the WSA by mentoring those coming after her, and advocating for the mentoring program that WSA runs year in and year out. There is a lot to like about the way Gen thinks and acts at a system level to level the playing field for women and girls in sport. About Gen Gen Dohrmann (nee Simmons) is the President of Women Sport Australia and the CEO of Table Tennis Victoria. With 10 year’s experience working as a sports administrator across a variety of sports, Gen has developed strong skills in the areas of marketing, communication, commercial, digital, event management and participation. With experience working in traditionally male dominated sports of horse-racing and rugby union as well as leading female sports of netball and gymnastics, Gen is well aware of gender inequities in sports which motivated her to get involved with Women Sport Australia (WSA). After completing the WSA Mentoring Program in 2017, Gen joined the Board in the same year and became President in 2020. In the last two years as President of Women Sport Australia, Gen led a voluntary board of 11 directors to increase the organization’s visibility to new heights. This has been achieved through the continued delivery of mentoring programs, running the Women in Sport Photo Action Awards competition, launching a Gender Equity in Sport Pledge, conducting Virtual Roundtables for Women in Sport advocacy groups and partnering with Cadbury to facilitate $150,000 of uniform grants for grassroots clubs across Australia.

Tony Hallam has evolved from an auditor to an advocate for women in sport. Tony wears a couple of different hats when it comes to sports. He is a co-owner of the Deakin Melbourne Boomers WNBL (Women's National Basketball League) and is also the Executive Chair of the board. In this episode, we discuss the prevailing challenges that women’s sports face, including a lack of media coverage, chronic underfunding, and low pay, as well as the knock-on effect these issues have on gender equity in sports. We also discuss the terrific story of the Boomers who were saved from extinction by a group of people who now own the club. The documentary Sidelined showcases this journey and demonstrates just how tough and exhilarating women's basketball and the business of women’s sports is. Tony shares his advice for people who want to get started being advocates for women in sport and talks about how important it is to do something if you feel moved to.

Adam Bishop has had a long career in sport and became aware, very early in his career about the disparities and discrepancies in terms of access and profile of women and girls in sport in general. Rather than ‘admire the problem’ he decided to take action, whenever and wherever he could. We discuss the matter of fairness, which can get overlooked in the dialogue about advancing women in sports as well as the role that leaders must play when they are in positions of authority and influence. Adam shares how he uses his relationships and plants seeds of thought in others' minds so that he can gain consensus from others about women participating and being more represented in senior roles in sports. Adam also talks about the importance of the system of the sport getting behind gender equality. He calls out the work of Sport & Rec in South Australia as well as the work of the Office of Women Sport & Recreation here in Victoria to make changes to the system that enables sporting administrators to take action to close the gender gap in sport. We also talk about how it takes courage and patience, and you have to use data really well to be an effective ally to women in sports. Adam is a humble leader, who isn’t comfortable being called an ally, but I can guarantee that he absolutely is! About Adam Adam is a dynamic and entrepreneurial senior sports executive with an impressive track record of delivering successful outcomes across the areas of community participation and high-performance sport, and the events industry. Appointed to the CEO role at Athletics South Australia at the age of 25, Adam spent nearly a decade in this position, transforming and growing the business, before accepting an offer to take up the Interim High-Performance Director role at Athletics Australia in late 2017. Following athletics’ highly successful 2018 Commonwealth Games campaign, Adam moved to his current role as General Manager of Growth and Development at Athletics Australia, where he is responsible for overseeing and developing a range of programs to facilitate the growth of athletics in Australia. Adam is also an experienced Non-Executive Director, having served 3 years on the board of a community disability services organization during a period of significant organizational growth and governance reform. Adam holds a Masters's degree in Sports Administration and a Bachelor of Education with majors in physical education and English and is a graduate Fellow of the renowned Governor's Leadership Foundation program. Adam is also a competitive athlete, having won a National Junior 800m title before securing a college athletics scholarship in the USA and later going on to represent Australia at the World University Cross Country Championships.

Professor Clare Hanlon is focussing on building organisational capacity to encourage more women to advance into leadership roles in sport. Clare discusses how she learns from the sport industry to identify what is working and what is not when it comes to having more women in leadership. Whilst she is a researcher, she is clear that she only wants research that will create change for women and girls. We discuss how important the art of storytelling is in sport and recipients being able to hear and appreciate the key messages as well as being able gain actionable insights. Clare says this is an important factor in her wide-ranging research as she wants it to inform and stimulate action, so she is also focussed on translating research into practices. Clare is determined to eliminate the boundaries for women and girls in sport, and we discuss her critical research and actionable insights about the impact of uniform choices, particularly on pre-teen and teenage girls. This includes a shoutout to some sports organisations who have stepped up in terms of uniform choices so that participation for women and girls, of all ages and walks of life, is not compromised by attire. About Professor Clare Hanlon Clare is passionate to create ‘no boundaries’ for girls and women in sport. In her pursuit Clare translates research into practice and provides advice to international through to local organisations to build community capacity that breaks down barriers and increases opportunities for women and girls as leaders and players in sport. Her global collaboration includes working with colleagues in countries including Canada, USA, South East Asia and the Pacific. Clare has pushed the boundaries for sport uniforms for girls and women, co-led a national roadmap to assist organisations build capacity to embrace women and girls in sport and a national policy framework for women in sport; created a high level women in sport strategy for Sport Australia; was a member on the Victorian Ministerial Inquiry for Women and Girls in Sport and Active Recreation; and advisor for three State/Territory Governments on infrastructure and systems to encourage women and girls in sport.
