Hello 2026! Back with tennis chat, Alex Honnold and Aussie snowboarder Scotty James

Boxing Day can mean different things to different people – shopping the sales or eating endless Christmas leftovers. For many, the Boxing Day test is central to the day: family crowded around the TV, arguing over runs, soaking up the game.  

For Rana Hussain, cricket gave that same sense of belonging. But in fact organised sport wasn’t really set-up for her. Whether it was the non-inclusive uniforms, the lack of knowledge of cultural expectations, or simply the lack of diversity in the food offered at sports clubs, Rana felt locked out of sport.  

Today, Rana’s changing that. As founder of Good Human, she’s helped sporting organisations like Cricket Australia and various football clubs build spaces that are inclusive, welcoming, and community focused.

PLAY WELL: How Rana Hussain is rewriting the rules of Australian sports culture  

Before sport was graded, scored and analysed... what did you love to play? Not just do, but actually, play? 

That feeling of joy, curiosity and being completely immersed in something is known as the 'play state'. Mindset coach Ben Crowe says most of us leave it behind far too early. As sport becomes organised, measured, and outcome-driven, we change from playing for love to playing for approval. 

Redefining success and reconnecting with play is central to Ben’s work with athletes includingtennis stars Ash Barty andAndre Agassi and surfer Molly Picklum. It's helped them transform their relationships with sport as a result.  

Ben says play is as essential as sleep, so how do we bring more of it back, for ourselves and for our kids?

PLAY WELL: Ben Crowe wants you to play more in sport, and in life 

Swimmer Ellie Cole has spent most of her life adapting. Losing her leg aged three meant learning how to move differently, think differently, and push through moments most kids never face. That early resilience didn’t just make her a Paralympian - it shaped how she sees sport and who gets to take part in it. 

Ellie’s clear about one thing: inclusive sporting spaces aren’t just for athletes with disabilities. When kids grow up training beside people with different bodies and different life experiences, they learn how to work with others, how to communicate, and how to build real community. 

When more people can participate, everyone benefits. So if inclusion makes sport stronger, why not design every club that way?
