maya stewart's journey from starting rugby at age 18 to becoming the wallaroos all-time leading try scorer
Maya Stewart is the Wallaroos all time-leading try scorer - a special feat made all the more impressive considering she first picked up rugby union ball at eighteen years old. Maya is now a key member of the NSW Waratahs side who are the most successful team in Super W history and finished off her 2024 season being crowned Wallaroos player of the year.In this chat, Chlo and Maya chat all things Rugby Union and what it means to have such a quick rise in the sport after overcoming two ACL injuries along the way. We hope you enjoy this episode.*Just a quick note, Chloe caught up with Maya before the Wallaroos first test match of the year. But in that match against Fiji, Maya was injured so while she won’t get to play this weekend against New Zealand we’ve got all our TFAP fingers and toes crossed for her return as soon as possible.Buy our kids book The A to Z of Who I Could Be, or book for adults GIRLS DON’T PLAY SPORT. www.thefemaleathleteproject.com/shopGet the wrap delivered into your inbox as a weekly newsletter!

Australia's Minister of Sport, Anika Wells, was born and raised in Queensland. She grew up playing many sports including netball, touch football, tennis and was even a gymnast. While she spent the early years of her career practising as a lawyer, when her daughter was born, she decided she wanted to make the world a better place for her and ran for her local seat of Lilley.In 2019, Wells became Australia’s youngest female MP when she was elected to parliament. She is currently the Minister for Aged Care and Sport, and has a particular love for the way that sport ‘makes you want to hug strangers’.Chloe chats with Anika about a variety of the Australian government’s polices that affect women in sport, including: Play Our Way, Sport Diplomacy and – Sports Horizon.

The minister was not provided with any interview questions before hand and was only briefed on the broad topics we wanted to discuss within her sports portfolio. The Female Athlete Project also reached out to the Shadow Minister for Sport, however, at the time this episode dropped, we are yet to hear back regarding her availability. Thank you for understanding that TFAP strives to provide you with transparency around the political side of women’s sports.
One day, female athletes will be recognised by their achievements, not by their gender.
Until then, we'll keep sharing the stories of epic Aussie female athletes.
Join Olympic Gold Medallist, Chloe Dalton, as she chats with World Champions, fellow Olympians, and athletes at the top of their game.
