Bonus: Play On

Off the back of the Matilda’s epic World Cup Campaign, a wave of tweens and teens are thinking about starting a new sport. That can be tricky, and often, no one’s as good as they’d like to be. STick around and let us unpack that for you …

If you've listened to any of All That Glitters episodes, you'll know how absolutely passionate Libby is about people staying connected with sport and movement, in any form. So when we saw the facts about the drop in participation in kids sport (it's so bad it's called a participation cliff), we wanted to be part of a solution. A movement. To keep kids in the game.

We’re jumping into to the All That Glitters feed to bring you an episode of a new podcast we’ve been working on with Rebecca Sparrow (tween/teen author and advocate). It's called Play On: Helping teens stay in the game, and we'd love you to take a listen.

What to do when...you're the worst player in the team

Ouch. What do you do if you’re the worst player on the team? Bec, Georgie and Libby offer solutions for staying in the game including asking yourself to check the story you’re telling yourself about your performance. Libby shares how sucking at netball helped her find swimming and Georgie discusses the pain of being moved UP a level and being the weakest and youngest link.
