We've all been the worst of on a team (yes, even our resident Olympian). And through that process, we learnt oh so much. Here's a snippet from a chat we had a couple of years ago with our non-sporty mate, Rebecca Sparrow, all about what we learnt when we found ourselves to be the worst on a team.

We hear it so often - where are kids supposed to go when they just want to the play sport for fun? Once you get to 18+, there are a HUGE amount of social sport opportunities. But well before that, once the Auskicks and the Net Set Go stops, and the grading begins, where are kids who aren't competitive meant to play? This is a chat we had with tween and teen educator and author Rebecca Sparrow a couple of years ago about the need for kids to have social sport options.

Some Saturdays you may be on the sidelines of kids sport and wonder if you've accidentally turned up to the AFL Grand Final. Or the Super Netball GF. Or even game 5 of the Ashes. Because the level of parent involvement is just, well, INTENSE. Be it yelling, taunting, or even having a crack at the ref, parent behaviour is a real issue in kids sport. This is part of a chat we had with tween and teen educator and author Rebecca Sparrow, about the sidelines of kids sport and how we can all make little changes that make a big difference.

It's Christmas holidays and while we may not know what day it is we certainly know this - as one year closes we ALWAYS start thinking about what next year might bring. And central to that is the how of getting things done. Be it sport, exercise or movement (or anything else for that matter!) understanding how motivation works is crucial. We hope you enjoy this chat we had with Rebecca Sparrow from a couple of years ago - between the 3 us of we have elite, community and reluctant sports particpation all covered!

The McLaren Team has lost their minds and we are wondering whether Max is actually the 3rd Papaya Driver. Paralympic swimming superstar Rowan Crothers joins us to talk about the upcoming social media ban PLUS Georgie revisits her softball spirital home and Libby is in her happy place after the 3rd week of the Sportish Swimming Club.

We don't know how to feel about the hot hot mess that is the Sky Sports Halo TikTok account - definitely giving "pink it and shrink it vibes" but is everyone also just a bit angry? Former Aussie Diamond and Queensland Firebird Gretel Bueta joins us to talk about the hottest new netball comp - Fire5 - happening on the Gold Coast this weekend. Plus we went for a 2km swim last Friday and have now we've decided that you guys should join us!

We are DEEP in all the sporting analogies and wisdom of Brené Brown, following the release of her new book Strong Ground and honestly, Libby won't stop talking about it. Georgie's got thoughts on the new football comedy Chad Powers (it's definitely NOT Ted Lasso, to be clear) and we chat about how on earth you can do exercise with some many children and so little time. Come join us!

Kids in water polo are playing in multiple teams, multiple age groups and multiple locations in one weekend - is it too much? We don't know much about water polo, but we certainly know someone who does! This week we welcome to the Sportish studio the coach of the Australian Women's Water Polo Team (The Stingers) and Olympian, Bec Rippon.

Big thanks to Bec and to our Sporties for sending through questions - we love them! If you've got a kids sports issue you'd like us to discuss, email us at hello@sportish.com.au or message us via Instagram @beingsportish.
