Libby Trickett tackles youth sports dropout crisis
Four-time Olympian Libby Trickett has released the second season of her podcast Sportish, focusing on youth sports participation in Australia. Statistics show while 70 per cent of Australian children play sport at age 12, this drops dramatically to just 20 per cent by age 20, with the biggest decline among girls aged 14-15. The podcast, created in partnership with the Australian Sports Commission's Play Well strategy, addresses barriers to participation including cost, parent behaviour on sidelines, and the commoditisation of grassroots sport.
