DREAM TEAM w/ Lauren Brown

Being selected for the Women’s Australian Rugby League World Cup Team is a childhood dream come true. Just 24 hours after being announced in the DREAM TEAM, Lauren Brown joins Emma to have a yarn about all the juicy details.

From 7-year-old Loz practicing conversions at half time during local Burleigh Bears League games to her newly appointed Jillaroo status and every sacrifice, athletic accomplishment, setback and all the obsessive NRL fan girl moments in between, this conversation will leave you filled with admiration and inspiration.

The sheilas discuss details about the upcoming World Cup, as well as Loz’s natural talents in all sports including playing semi-professional soccer - while Emma tries to relate by yapping on about her own return to the game after a 12-year hiatus. Loz shares her experience playing rugby 7’s, finally making her way onto the Rugby League field just two years ago, achieving her childhood dream as a premiership winning Bronco’s player, choosing between playing for her two favourite clubs, the opportunities the Titans have given her, the sacrifices women make to play professionally, and power of connection and companionship within a team sport.

We get the scoop into her training sessions, the extra mile she takes to guarantee points on the board, her step-by-step approach to kicking conversions, her family’s incredible support, tips and tricks to overcome doubt and remain confident, what her future goals look like, how she maintains longevity and the exciting times ahead in the NRWL.

This podcast is bound to make you laugh and fall in love with our fresh off the press Jillaroo whilst inspiring you to make the most of your sporting opportunities and harden the f**k up.
