This year, Emma Lawrence became the first woman in history to play-by-play commentate an NRL game. But behind that epic achievement is 15 years of hustling in the sports media industry.

From starting as an unpaid intern at the Parramatta Eels to becoming one of the most recognisable Rugby League voices on both Fox Sports and Channel Nine, Emma opens up on how her work ethic and determination have guided her career and shares plenty of advice for those looking to find their way in the sports media industry.

The ‘Beyond the Game’ podcast series has been developed in collaboration with the New South Wales Office of Sport. Part of the Her Future in Sport initiatives, we’re helping the Office of Sport to light the spark of inspiration in young women and adolescent girls to show the breadth of interesting and fulfilling careers across the broader sports sector.

From creative to curious, scientific to sporty, we want every girl to see that there is a place for her in a sports career.
