Jenny Williams OAM joins Phil Smyth on Sporting Spotlight for a brilliant chat about athlete wellbeing, mental health in sport, pressure, coaching and what really helps players perform at their best.
From junior sport all the way through to the elite level, Jenny talks about the importance of the people around athletes, and how the right support can build confidence, resilience and team culture.
A really thoughtful and powerful conversation, and one we reckon a lot of parents, coaches and sports fans will get something out of.

Great to be back with another episode of Sporting Spotlight with Bazz and Phil.
This week we’re joined by Shane Harris for a ripping chat about some of footy’s biggest rule debates… the stand rule, 6-6-6, last touch, umpiring pressure, and what actually works in the modern game.
Shane gives a great insight into how these rules are viewed from the officiating side, and there is plenty in this one for any footy fan who loves a good AFL debate.
Thanks for sticking with us while we’ve been a little quiet. We’re still as passionate as ever and really keen to get things rolling again.
Watch now and let us know… which AFL rule would you change first?

This week it’s just the boys, and Phil debuts a brand new segment that puts Barry on the clock with only 2 minutes to answer some big sporting questions.
They get stuck into the AFL stand rule, State of Origin, Brownlow voting, LIV Golf, the Adelaide 36ers, the Australian Grand Prix, and the Japan Australasian Championship, plus a shoutout to the three South Australian representatives making waves in golf.
Plenty of opinions, plenty of laughs, and yes… Barry has a fair bit to say about the stand rule 😅
