melbourne city secure their third-straight a-league minor premiership⚽

When Rugby League player Jaime Chapman was growing up, she didn’t have any NRLW players to look up to. In fact, her dad helped her make her own Sevens team full of young girls, just so she could keep playing footy.

Fast forward to 2020, and Jaime made her NRLW debut with the Dragons and hasn’t looked back since. Chappo's gone on to play in two NRLW grand-finals, represent the Indigenous All-Stars and make 8 state of Origin appearances, including in 2024 when she scored THAT 85m solo try.

A proud Kamilaroi woman, Jaime shares what it means to represent her mob, why being a role model for the next generation of women is so important, and what Strength Your Way means to her as a Rockwear ambassador.

We hope you enjoy this episode, thanks to Rockwear.

Casey Dellacqua is one of Australia’s greatest doubles tennis players.

During her career, the West Australian played eight Grand Slam finals, including in 2011 when she won the French Open mixed doubles title alongside American Scott Lipsky. She reached a career high doubles ranking of number three in the world, and made history alongside fellow Aussie Ash Barty, when they became the first Australian duo to reach the women's doubles final of the Australian Open since 1977.

This week, Chloe sits down with eight-time Grand Slam finalist turned legendary tennis commentator Casey Dellacqua. Casey shares what she learnt from losing seven Grand Slam finals, and how she’s working as the Women and Girls Lead at Tennis New South Wales to increase participation and equity within the sport. We hope you enjoy this episode.
