The ‘Beyond the Game’ podcast series has been developed in collaboration with the New South Wales Office of Sport. Part of the Her Future in Sport initiatives, we’re helping the Office of Sport to light the spark of inspiration in young women and adolescent girls to show the breadth of interesting and fulfilling careers across the broader sports sector.
From creative to curious, scientific to sporty, we want every girl to see that there is a place for her in a sports career.
Explore the possibilities at the Her Future in Sport Quiz: careers.tool.sport.nsw.gov.au
