TWO GREAT MATES SHARING FUN, HONEST AND REFRESHING CONVERSATIONS ABOUT SPORT

We want to help you find joy in sport. We want you and your loved ones to know the exhilaration of moving your body physically and challenging your mind - without fear of judgement or elitism.

We’re on a mission to help more Aussies - especially women and teen girls - feel curious about sport. To see being active as an opportunity to grow your self-confidence, feel strong and healthy, and connect with your community.

That’s why we’re 100% against gatekeeping sport and the (honestly kinda weird) cliquey status quo. We don’t believe in division or elitism - just good fun and personal growth.

We’re here to lift you up with our playful banter, our inspirational stories, and our confidence in you.

Because at the end of the day, we want you to feel proud of being sportish and enjoy sport the way it’s meant to be, pressure-free.

What your brain will be greeted with: playful, inclusive conversations about sport through an unapologetically human lens. Plus interviews with our Sportish friends - from grassroots legends to elite athletes.

This isn’t ‘sports talk’ (*blah* boring) as you know it. After just 30 mins, you’ll be able to chat with confidence about what’s going on in sport and how it relates to popular culture (think Super Bowl meets Taylor Swift, or the gender pay gap, or the hairstyles of male players across all footy codes - we have thoughts on ALL OF IT).

Sport isn’t just for THEM. It’s for YOU too.

Your weekly brief, highlighting the biggest stories escaping out of sport and into everyday life with thoughtful commentary and plenty of belly laughs.

Putting the spotlight on sport and sport adjacent things we’re personally digging, which we guarantee will include binge worthy recommendations, crazy adventure athletes and underground sports movements.

OUR NEWEST (SPORTish) OBSESSIONS
