Well its an opportunity to learn about what you doing there at the Office for Women and Sport and Recreation because its the one and only organization of its kind in the in Australia as I understand it. But the Lottery funding in the UK has boosted all kinds of sports that otherwise would never have had the exposure and certainly reached and mentor and Ill know the position in the Olympics particularly Paralympics. They could do it five years ago they would probably struggle and so well I think we need to determine the barriers. I would make some coffee and then I would eat some sort of cereal with yogurt and berries. [00:10:25] Well it certainly teach to see problem solving skills and what we know theres data from an amazing piece of research that Ernst and Young did globally where they examined women in leadership positions all over the world. And as the saying goes you know you cant be what you cant see that that access is critically important. But what were seeing now is many more questions about how Okay okay we get it but how are we going to do it. [00:31:54] So gender diversity and having gender equality in leadership positions is an enormous priority for us. What Ive experienced and when I was a professional cyclist lets say 10 years ago I was in an extraordinarily talented team. The upper limit of the lightweight category was 59kg, and the majority of women who rowed for Australia were heavyweights. I bought it on holiday in Antibes in France, and it made me feel very European, mon cheri. Six years of med school was helpful but actually following around the senior doctor and thinking Okay heres what being a surgeon involves. So youre right were seeing enormous change and you mentioned the M O U the memorandum understanding the Cricket Australia finally succumb to with the male and female cricket players here and look at the impact thats had on our Australian women. I dont know if you saw just recently there were some moderate criticism about the scheduling of the nipple World Cup that they played a lot of games in a short space of time which for Lisa Alexander the coach of the diamonds said you know she felt that the time is now to expand that tournament to greater numbers of days which of course takes greater investment to allow the athletes to give their best so that theyre at their best and theyre not actually fatigued by the final game and obviously New Zealand had such an extraordinary performance there to win again. [00:18:56] And interestingly the response by the AFL media was to remove the photo and then the Internet responded even more vociferously people in support of her and of womens sport by saying this is not the solution removing womens images from public spaces is not the way to silence critics. She is also a medical doctor, graduating valedictorian from the University of Queensland, and now focuses on helping cancer patients with behavioural changes to help improve their overall wellbeing. We want fans to experience those games because that then also leads to TV viewership and that if youve never been to a WNBA game or at Suncorp if Nepal or if I thought w the atmosphere is wonderful and very family friendly nowhere near the same levels of aggression and violence. Usually former players umpires referees presidents etc. You are my reputation as a sporting nation but just to give a little bit about Graham Brady is to your sporting history because youve been very involved with sport actively as a triathlete and then as a cyclist. So those kinds of images have far more reach than one could ever imagine. But O'Donnell said after nearly a year of preparation, when she spent thousands of dollars on a bike and partaking in a strict anti-doping protocol, the record attempt was surprisingly easy. Teach you about what what it requires to be a woman in leadership and sport in Australia. Well why doesnt the UCI the governing body say if you want to hold a rice race licence you have to broadcast X amount and you have to provide the footage and everyone would pass the buck and say its not their job. But you also then when you come out the other side of that and transition into civilian life as I like to call it you also realize just how unimportant that is as well. O'Donnell will have "a week or so of non-goal oriented behaviour" before training for the national road cycling competition with the Women's Rush Cycling Team. Where did that money go and why are we not seeing as much content as we would like and the WNBA is a great example. But it is frustrating when you see the standard of play in the success of play because often the argument is so well medals will will win for funding means as it does in the UK for example with lottery funding they want to see the medals first but it can be a catch 22 as well. He was a loud, confident, successful and brash 30-something whose squad contained World Champions, Olympians and World Cup winners in an era when Olympic Distance triathlon was a huge money earner.. You know we see the increase in pay for professional cricketers for example. In 2006, she finished Ironman Austria, Ironman Hawaii and rode a bike course record at Busselton Ironman. Bridie graduated as valedictorian from the University of Queensland medical school and won the G R S last prize for the most outstanding intern in 1999. I would imagine on your To Do list we do have a huge agenda and we have just a small team but we but theyre terrific. It became a vicious cycle. So for example there was a rather controversial commitment made by the federal government a few years ago where they said were going to give money to Fox Sports to focus on niche sports. And one of the things that were actually really reassured. So youre right were seeing enormous change and you mentioned the M O U the memorandum understanding the Cricket Australia finally succumb to with the male and female cricket players here and look at the impact thats had on our Australian women. In 2016, at age 42, she broke the womens world record for the longest distance covered by bike in one hour. We have had women meddling in basketball at the Olympics for five six Olympics and yet and we have some of the best basketball is in the world have come from Australia. Thats where all of our networking events support it. Then, in her mid-30s, ODonnell made the sharp pivot to professional cycling, a field where she found great success. Once, an Aussie teammate had to be given a break from racing to allow her to gain some weight. So you know there are opportunities out there. But its early days but theres no doubt that what were seeing now is instead of the why we used to there would have been a lot of the why why should we fund womens sport or why women arent as good as men. And I look back now and even though that was painful and it made me feel disappointed I realised that shaped an enormous amount of my persistence and that I was never in an environment where I was the best athlete ever and it took me until you know when I was 42 and I broke a world record to be the best in the world at something and thats a long time of trying and I do think that some people who peak early theres a sense there of complacency or perhaps perhaps even a lack of strategies on how to win. Taylor Harris herself was interviewed on the radio sort of saying I know you shouldnt read the comments but Ive read them and these are by some men whove got women in their profile pictures you know wives and probably kids. A friend of mine was doing a triathlon Id never ridden a bike before and Id never done a running race and Id only just swum for you know learning that school. Bridie welcome to the program. Instead of a ring, he had a necklace made for the proposal. But Im curious as to where you see the progress that youre making. And yet we have over 30000 girls and women registered to play was he rules in this state and hundreds more that are paid teach physical education teachers or former coaches in other jobs that could be highly qualified to do that. So were not even retaining our high performance coaches from one Commonwealth Games to another. But the Lottery funding in the UK has boosted all kinds of sports that otherwise would never have had the exposure and certainly reached and mentor and Ill know the position in the Olympics particularly Paralympics. And of course here in the States so many are owned by my wealthy people you know of the Womens Soccer League here in the States. Its not life and death. Im not suggesting that we all need to endure. At the start of the COVID-19 pandemic, she worked in the Industry Recovery Group of Department of Jobs, Precincts and Regions, and was then appointed Executive Director for the Public Events Team. And the idea around comparison is actually incredibly unhelpful and quite ignorant by a lot of commentators. Hardiness and resilience were prerequisites. We were racing at the flesh while on which is a famous race in Belgium with the iconic one kilometer and 10 percent climb at the finale and the women do the race in the morning sort of around 10 or 11 and then the end of the race in the afternoon in the mens races of course live on free to air TV across Europe and America millions of people watch the womens race. Here, she tells us about the pillow that made her many cheap motel stays bearable, as well as the story of two other significant belongings. She is not dating anyone. Devastatingly however, it was working: her illnessI saw it clearly as an illnesswas performance-enhancing. Her legs already had veins showing, which is a sign of limited body fat; I was struggling to determine where she was going to lose nearly 10% of her body mass. Weve had a multibillionaire man invest in the NBL here and he owns the league and a couple of teams but no multibillionaire is common said. So I was appointed after a very long process. My teammate would eat an apple. I would grab Gypsy, my rescue greyhound, and some family heirlooms that might be of very little value to others but are of great sentimental value to me. [00:08:28] A friend of mine was doing a triathlon Id never ridden a bike before and Id never done a running race and Id only just swum for you know learning that school. I really do appreciate it. So what did being a professional. We have 17 per cent of school aged children are getting the required amount of physical exercise every day of one hour one hour of movement and only 17 percent of kids are getting it. Ultimately the hard work, planning, persistence and determination lead her to. We had a team of champions and let me tell you we did not translate into a champion day. But we also need the networks to to buy into it too because at the end of the day everybody benefits if they have the foresight to invest in it at whatever level. Thank you for joining me. And these images and these these styles of leadership also show us that being a coach or an umpire or CEO or a president does not have to be one way doesnt have to be delivered one way by one type of old authoritative suit wearing table thumping man.

CEOs and board directors and the stats are mind boggling 96 percent of women in leadership positions across all industries have been competitive athletes. So theres a couple of prongs to this attack if you like. But I think thats a long conversation and when I do that we can solve it here now. So I was appointed in November 2017. How we overcome this hurdle of you know challenging the networks to make this free to air and satisfying the sponsors and getting the coverage that women need in the media. Peggy is an amazing trailblazer here in Australia and she chaired and there were some very important influential powerful athletes and administrators women and men involved in this inquiry that published a report at the end of 12 months and what they had looked into were some specific data around a number of women girls participating in sport access to facilities that these women and girls have number of women in leadership positions in sport. However, there was one heck of a roller coaster ride before she got there. So what we know about women in sport in Australia is it has extraordinary links to the importance of just challenging our rigid gender stereotypes.

She would also not need to, given the low intensity of the session. We know that not all violence against women is due to environments that people grow up in but it all starts from a lack of respect. Whats that look like for you now. Thank you so much for having me on. Taylor Harris herself was interviewed on the radio sort of saying I know you shouldnt read the comments but Ive read them and these are by some men whove got women in their profile pictures you know wives and probably kids. And how about the increase in female coaches. But that said you know the mens AFL league started over 100 years ago with zero scrutiny and social media to criticize it. Eighty five per cent of those women were new women. "After spending all that time training and learning how to ride a track bike, the actual night unfolded amazingly smoothly, and was just a wonderful feeling of elation and satisfaction afterwards," she said. You know theres this myth that oh lets just train more women lets give them coaching courses lets educate them. She was tall and had the arms of a prima ballerinastrong, but skinny as hell. I was one of 70 who applied and one of 12 who got selected to be part of a testing programme. [00:36:46] And so whilst we are we have scholarship programs that are offered. So whilst we do have a reputation of being healthy and bronzed and tanned were in fact you know I think we have the third highest rate of childhood obesity in the world behind the US and Mexico. She would say why dont the race organisers just mandate to you know Euro sport that they have to show 30 minutes and they would say well you need to pay us and then say Okay fine.

What were seeing now is those people are being left behind. Were seeing this more in the year in the UK and in parts of Europe with the different networks too. "In cycling it's known as this ultimate test of endurance and mental fortitude," she said. So its one of the biggest cities. About so many things I could have done better. Her net worth has been growing significantly in 2021-2022. So gender diversity and having gender equality in leadership positions is an enormous priority for us. So those kinds of images have far more reach than one could ever imagine. Number two increasing the number of girls and women but mostly women in leadership positions in sport more CEOs but even more importantly more umpires coaches referees visible leadership of women on fields with whistles telling people what to do is an extraordinarily powerful debunking of this myth that women dont know how to rally a team or they dont know how to be harsh or they dont know how to be assertive and firm or they dont know how to bring together twenty five guys to get them to do something thats thats a complete myth as we all know. Bridie O Donnell Private Life. ODonnell put hercareer as a medical doctor on hold and spent her mid-30s chasing the dream of representing her country and racing her bike in Europe among the best in the world. [00:37:23] It doesnt all have to look the same way but no one is fully prepared for her job. Weve seen as we said three seasons of AFL W and yet in this third season 0 teams of the 10 were coached by women which is mind boggling.

And we do look forward to continuing the conversation with you so thanks again and well stay in touch. And I do find myself thinking that a lot whatever work Im doing I think you know what Ive been in a worse situation than this. But what were seeing now is many more questions about how Okay okay we get it but how are we going to do it. Bridie ODonnell has enjoyed two very different careers. Dr Bridie O'Donnell graduated Valedictorian from the University of Queensland Medical School and won the JRS Lahz Prize for Most Outstanding Intern at Mater Adult Hospital. Eighty five per cent of those women were new women. She will win for sure!. You fail a lot. So it actually wasnt until I was in my second year of medical school I went straight into medical school out of high school and I started doing a triathlon. [00:16:37] But its early days but theres no doubt that what were seeing now is instead of the why we used to there would have been a lot of the why why should we fund womens sport or why women arent as good as men. And when it is provided to them in a really classy package if you like it at the best stadium with the greatest amenity and the best TV coverage and free to air they will watch it.
