In this episode I sat down with the bloody brilliant Holly Bailey, founder of Play Like A Girl, and honestly, this one felt like watching a mate realise she’s not just building a 'thing' anymore. She’s building (and built) a movement.
We talked about her recent corporate golf day event, the surreal moment of seeing her work reflected back through other people’s pride, and the weirdness of sitting inside something enormous while still feeling like the little human behind the curtain trying to keep the wheels on.
Holly shared where Play Like A Girl really began, from her own moment in netball when a coach basically held up a mirror and showed her she had been limiting herself, to the years of workshops, networking, advisory boards, scholarship models, commercial conversations, self-doubt, learning curves, and “do it before you’re ready” moments that turned a passion project into a national community.
We got into sport, leadership, identity, confidence, women backing themselves, and the bigger idea that sport is not just about medals, winning, or being the best little weapon on the field. It’s about belonging. Confidence. Resilience. Connection. Learning who the hell you are.
And how... "Girls who play sport become women who lead." BOOOM!
Bloody ripper of a chat with a woman I am VERY proud to call a mate.
