So it actually wasnt until I was in my second year of medical school I went straight into medical school out of high school and I started doing a triathlon. ODonnell put hercareer as a medical doctor on hold and spent her mid-30s chasing the dream of representing her country and racing her bike in Europe among the best in the world. You know the cricket team and others. Now how do you do you have any thought so. You know we see the increase in pay for professional cricketers for example. By mid-morning, it would be sunny and above 15 degrees, so we would train. I can tell you that. Whats that look like for you now. And it has been outstanding and we are now supporting New Zealand South Australia W.A. [00:31:54] So gender diversity and having gender equality in leadership positions is an enormous priority for us. [00:32:42] So seeing those women on the field on the pool deck beside the court looking authoritative I mean some of those great images of Becky Hammon whos been the assistant coach at San Antonio looking up to those extraordinarily tall NBA players knowing that shes been a former WNBA champion herself is really powerful. And were seeing this more in the States. Where are you. Well its an opportunity to learn about what you doing there at the Office for Women and Sport and Recreation because its the one and only organization of its kind in the in Australia as I understand it. But we also need the networks to to buy into it too because at the end of the day everybody benefits if they have the foresight to invest in it at whatever level. What were seeing now is those people are being left behind. Theres no way were going to get that across the line. So the other another problem them for example is the AFL. How did that organization come about when did it get its funding. The Silver Ferns where were sitting and we also saw and Im sure this photograph reached across the world is the photograph of Taylor Harris That was the most glorious examination and image of a woman kicking sheet. in Queensland to help to help them fast track their board quotas in whatever form it they are helping them learn for our from our mistakes and our lessons. But the 41-year-old former Mapleton woman this week broke the world hour record, riding 46.882 kilometres in 60 minutes 609 metres further than the existing record. I dont know if you saw just recently there were some moderate criticism about the scheduling of the nipple World Cup that they played a lot of games in a short space of time which for Lisa Alexander the coach of the diamonds said you know she felt that the time is now to expand that tournament to greater numbers of days which of course takes greater investment to allow the athletes to give their best so that theyre at their best and theyre not actually fatigued by the final game and obviously New Zealand had such an extraordinary performance there to win again. Six years of med school was helpful but actually following around the senior doctor and thinking Okay heres what being a surgeon involves. That access is all a part of being accessible right the accessibility of sport. There are frequently motorbikes with cameras following us through the whole three hours and definitely on the footage of the climb at the finale and it was never like on television they didnt even do a 30 minute highlight package 10 years ago and I remember having a conversation with a woman director of a team over in Europe saying why is that. Then, in her mid-30s, ODonnell made the sharp pivot to professional cycling, a field where she found great success. It was free to air on Channel 10 Channel 10 did an amazing job not only of broadcasting it but as you know the power of social media of retweeting great little clips of some of the really strong athletic performances of women batting and bowling etc. But I had incredibly supportive colleagues and certainly the public service is very good at that. O'Donnell set the record at the the Adelaide Super-Drome, which is a far cry from her family house in Obi Obi Valley, where her family lived off-the-grid. The third thing that was really vital for us is access to facilities. These werent really. But O'Donnell said after nearly a year of preparation, when she spent thousands of dollars on a bike and partaking in a strict anti-doping protocol, the record attempt was surprisingly easy. Then, in her mid-30s, O'Donnell made the sharp pivot to professional cycling, a field where she. What does this say. Hardiness and resilience were prerequisites. You know we have a really a problem in Australia against violence against women. Theyre very good at cultivating people who are highly motivated really passionate and want to make change. So youre youre pioneers in some way. Id like to own the WNBA and Id like to purchase a team for my daughter and we see that happening a lot is that sport is propped up by benevolent donors passionate fans people buying teams for their sons thats happening in this country and yet its not happening for womens legs and I mean how was it blown away by some of those stats from the Womens World Cup. And then when theyre not the fastest anymore they dont know what to do next. That photograph was circulated by a very well-known AFL photographer here Michael Wilson whos received awards for the photo. In 2016, she became the first Australian woman to make an attempt on the UCI World Hour record in 15 years, setting a new world record of 46.882km at the Adelaide Superdrome. In 2014, she took on an inaugural role as a breast physician at the Epworth Breast Service. Our guest this week is Dr. Bridie ODonnell who is head of the Office for Women in Sport and Recreation in Melbourne Australia and she is here to discuss the issues affecting women and girls from her perspective. As long as many more episodes of different shows we have now over a thousand episodes and a global audience reach now of more than three million. So all of those things are challenging. So those kinds of images have far more reach than one could ever imagine. We want fans to experience those games because that then also leads to TV viewership and that if youve never been to a WNBA game or at Suncorp if Nepal or if I thought w the atmosphere is wonderful and very family friendly nowhere near the same levels of aggression and violence. And so what weve seen with now three complete seasons of AFL WS Thats the Womens Australian Rules. And look were winning the mens ashes too. Thank you so much. Were seeing this more in the year in the UK and in parts of Europe with the different networks too. Peggy ONeil shes the president of the Richmond Football Club here the first woman to be president of an AFL club which is no mean feat and certainly as an outsider to a non Australian. Bridie O'Donnell's net worth So all I need to do my job is curiosity persistence support from my employer and my colleagues and a willingness to learn and anyone can do any job when they had those four characteristics. "It makes you very proud not just of myself, but all of the wonderful people who supported me.". Systems are the problem. Your email address will not be published. So theres something for everyone here at WiSP Sports. Peggy is an amazing trailblazer here in Australia and she chaired and there were some very important influential powerful athletes and administrators women and men involved in this inquiry that published a report at the end of 12 months and what they had looked into were some specific data around a number of women girls participating in sport access to facilities that these women and girls have number of women in leadership positions in sport. Another of my pro teammates restricted her carbohydrate intake for the eight weeks leading into a major race, losing 20% of her body weight, and she placed third overall, securing herself a strong result and a bonus from her bike sponsor (bonus is probably too strong a word for it; when women cyclists get a bonus from a bike sponsor, it tends to be $500 or $1000, for men it might be a million Euro for a Tour de France win). So what did being a professional. So sports shapes you in all of these ways and you you I guess you have this benchmark and you think you know what I have done harder shit than this. [00:24:40] Id like to own the WNBA and Id like to purchase a team for my daughter and we see that happening a lot is that sport is propped up by benevolent donors passionate fans people buying teams for their sons thats happening in this country and yet its not happening for womens legs and I mean how was it blown away by some of those stats from the Womens World Cup. And I think that is a conundrum too about you know we do need bums on seats and we do need the women to be attending sports events and filling these stadiums too. So sometimes one could argue which should come first and I am definitely no media broadcasting expert but I think that the time is for action. There are frequently motorbikes with cameras following us through the whole three hours and definitely on the footage of the climb at the finale and it was never like on television they didnt even do a 30 minute highlight package 10 years ago and I remember having a conversation with a woman director of a team over in Europe saying why is that. You dont get what you want a lot. Brian O'Nolan (Irish: Brian Nuallin; 5 October 1911 - 1 April 1966), better known by his pen name Flann O'Brien, was an Irish civil service official, novelist, playwright and satirist, who is now considered a major figure in twentieth century Irish literature.Born in Strabane, County Tyrone, he is regarded as a key figure in modernist and postmodern literature. I would make some coffee and then I would eat some sort of cereal with yogurt and berries. And if you say those things about women or you you devalue women and show them no respect. During my first week riding in Italy, after the team presentation and before we embarked on the season of racing up north, one of my teammates insisted she had to lose 5kg, otherwise everything would be very, very bad. Where did that money go and why are we not seeing as much content as we would like and the WNBA is a great example. So I was appointed in November 2017. Her years on the road as a cyclist taught ODonnell a lot, including the importance of a good nights sleep. Bridie returned to full-time work in 2013 at Epworth HealthCheck and teaching doctor-patient communication at Deakin University Medical School. She is also a medical doctor, graduating valedictorian from the University of Queensland, and now focuses on helping cancer patients with behavioural changes to help improve their overall wellbeing. In road cycling, where images of men with lean, tanned legs and hollowed cheekbones had been emblematic of true professionalism, most teams aspired for the same appearance for their women riders. Bridie also managed and reached for Rush womens team a national road series cycling team in Australia in 2016. It meant I was surrounded either by taller, heavier womentheir physical prowess enviableor small, wiry and dynamic lightweights, who were always adding a run or an extra ride to their countless on-water sessions. And one of the things that were actually really reassured. Posted on July 26, 2021 by July 26, 2021 by Nothing really was landed at that time around how that would look at that. She is currently on secondment to the Department of Health as Area of Operation Controller for the South-East Metro region in the COVID-19 response. And we do look forward to continuing the conversation with you so thanks again and well stay in touch. These werent really. Right there. And these images and these these styles of leadership also show us that being a coach or an umpire or CEO or a president does not have to be one way doesnt have to be delivered one way by one type of old authoritative suit wearing table thumping man. But that said you know the mens AFL league started over 100 years ago with zero scrutiny and social media to criticize it. She won national championships, Oceania Championship, raced in the AIS National team in Europe and was a member of professional womens teams in Europe and the United States. And look were winning the mens ashes too. There was no chance I could have been a lightweight; I was too tall with healthy but heavy muscle mass that would have required me to radically transform my eating habits. Its all of the things that I experience which is you lose a lot. [00:21:41] Its a great question. So I was appointed after a very long process. I would grab Gypsy, my rescue greyhound, and some family heirlooms that might be of very little value to others but are of great sentimental value to me. Womens educations and capabilities are not a problem. Theyre powerful for women and theyre equally powerful for boys and men. Its not life and death. In November, 2017, Bridie was appointed the inaugural Head of the Office for Women in Sport and Recreation by the Victorian Government and in May, 2018 she published Life and Death a cycling memoir about her experiences as a professional cyclist in the international peloton. Theres no way were going to get that across the line. [00:34:19] And how about the increase in female coaches. And we have seen a huge shift in the way Paralympic sports and pro athletes are being invested in here and of course we saw Dylan all cult winning at Wimbledon and the US Open in the mens wheelchair tennis but still no womens wheelchair tennis categories and that what I would argue is probably through a couple of the Normal barriers around a lack of depth of athletes those athletes havent had anywhere near as much support both financial emotional and logistical support to become wheelchair tennis players. What theyve also done is looked around and thought Wow we dont have a lawyer or we dont have a community fund raiser or we dont have a person who understands around membership protection. Has this been a lifelong passion and did you. So it had both sides of politics supporting the inquiry and it was chaired by an American. From 2007 to 2016, Bridie competed in road and track cycling. How we overcome this hurdle of you know challenging the networks to make this free to air and satisfying the sponsors and getting the coverage that women need in the media. Last week Dr O'Donnell was inducted into the 2021 Victorian Women's Honour Roll under the 'Change Agent' category. Or you can post your comments on our social media at Facebook Instagram and Twitter or LinkedIn. But you also then when you come out the other side of that and transition into civilian life as I like to call it you also realize just how unimportant that is as well. [00:04:37] And like so many of them I took a chance of you know quitting my job as a physician where I was working behaviour change because I just felt that this was a unique opportunity and remarkable way for me to have an influence over the lives and the outcomes of so many girls and women that I didnt have when I was coming through sport and that so many girls and women who are who have a disability or who are from a multicultural background or from a marginalized communities definitely dont have in Australia.
