   No. 241 Bonus: Wings Up Brolgas with Marnie Baxter, Rachel Millard & Karen Wilson

   Australia's FIBA Masters women went to Greece expecting a tournament. They came home with bruises, breakthroughs, and a story that inspires women to ‘feel the doubt, feel the fear… and do it anyway.’ In a Bonus episode, Rachel Millard returns with Marnie Baxter and Karen Wilson to unpack the real emotions for the 50+ group at the inaugural World Masters in a raw take of their campaign, that speaks to their resilience and perhaps more telling the true Aussie spirit and camaraderie. It’s a revealing conversation about what it takes to restart your basketball journey later in life, trust teammates you've barely met, and stay composed when the game gets messy. We get some breaking team announcements, and a glimpse into the bigger vision for the Masters movement in Aussie Womens Hoops that will have you wanting to lace up for the Green and Gold. Congrats to the F45’s in grabbing a Bronze and the undefeated F60+ and F65+ for their Gold medal campaign! Enjoy!

   No. 240: Hoops Biz Vol. 5 Sports: Your Data Your Privacy

   In our fifth Hoops Biz podcast we look at a subject that’s critical to all of us, we’re looking at the data held by sports, associations, state and national bodies on registered players, volunteers, referees and other participants. In an increasingly technology driven environment across sports, adequate governance and community understanding around data privacy is lagging. After an incident where video recording of minors took place without informed consent we dived into the issue of privacy, data security and how your information is being treated, and the more fundamental question of who truly benefits. Data is increasingly central to sports and our look into the current state of how it is collected, used, secured and protected made it clear there are very real issues with legal implications that need to be addressed. In a nuanced discussion covering grassroots, to minors and professional athletes we explore the legal and moral landscape of sports data and privacy. On this pod we are joined by Dr. David Watts, formerly Commissioner for Privacy and Data Protection, a researcher at the University of Melbourne’s Centre For Artificial Intelligence and Digital Ethics and an Adjunct Professor of Law at the Australian Catholic University. Dr. Paul Bowell lectures at Swinburne University of Technology and is a member of the Sport Innovation Research Group. His work spans sociology, organisational practice, sport sociology, and sport management. He has engaged in various research and consulting activities across professional sports organisations and teams. Mikhaela Cann has spent over 15 years in elite sport, her career has taken her from the Australian Institute of Sport and Australian representative pathways to becoming a WNBL Champion, NBL1 Champion and professional athlete across Australia and New Zealand. Captain of NBL1 Norths 2026 Minor Premiers, Logan Thunder, she created Assist Athlete Services to challenge the traditional athlete development model, to support athletes from grassroots to professional levels to develop the mental skills, confidence, self-awareness and tools needed to succeed in sport and life. We’re grateful for the knowledge and expertise provided by our panelists in this episode, sharing different points of view and perspectives. Enjoy!
