  • Ellie Harber: Muay Thai, overcoming bullying and controlling her anger

    Ellie Harber: Muay Thai, overcoming bullying and controlling her anger
    Mar 26 2024
    On the final episode of this series of SportSpiel we cross into the world of Muay Thai and speak to recently-crowned WBC world champion Ellie Harber.

    That victory was the 12th title claimed by the 18-year-old from Watford in a variety of martial art disciplines and was her first success in an adult tournament, which saw her win four fights in four days as she went on to secure gold in her maiden senior world championships.

    Despite her young age Ellie has come a long way since her first venture into a gym. Not only has the sport provided her with a platform to excel it has proved to be a vital way for her to control her anger and find a way of expressing herself.

    What’s more, she’s also let her sport do the talking to quieten the bullies who tried to ridicule her earlier on in life.

    Quite simply Ellie is one of an exciting generation of young female athletes proving sport is for them – and for everyone. No doubt she is a superstar in the making.

    DISCLAIMER: The audio at the beginning of this interview is unfortunately low quality but improves just after the two-minute mark.

  • Laura Gallagher and Jo Pinner: Becoming a mum during your athletic career

    Laura Gallagher and Jo Pinner: Becoming a mum during your athletic career
    Mar 19 2024
    This episode of SportSpiel is a very special one, as we delve into an important subject that is still in its infancy in terms of understanding – becoming a mum during your athletic career.

    Taking part in the discussion is long-time friend of the podcast, British Trampolinist Laura Gallagher, as well as England and GB Hockey star Jo Pinner who have both done just that, given birth to their first child in the last 14 months.

    With both now on their way back to the top of their sport, they explain just what it takes to become a mum while competing as an athlete – from deciding when to have a child during your career, to the physical toll pregnancy, giving birth and raising a newborn takes on the body.

    The pair also explain how inspiration from other athlete mums has helped them on their individual journeys and they delve into how they balance training and childcare.

    There’s also the very non-linear process of returning to sports in the first place, essentially having to start again after becoming mums, and so much more more.

    Both Laura and Jo talk incredibly openly about their experiences on a topic that still requires plenty of discussion – for context UK Sport’s maternity policy was only introduced in the last year.

    We hope you enjoy listening and learning from this very special podcast.

  • Helen Nelson: Scotland’s progress, the Six Nations and the importance of role models

    Helen Nelson: Scotland’s progress, the Six Nations and the importance of role models
    Mar 12 2024
    Scotland Rugby’s vice-captain Helen Nelson is one of the most crucial individuals in the squad.

    With 55 appearances for the national team to her name she’s been a vital cog as the team looks to progress and improve – striving for bigger goals each time.

    With the latest edition of the Women’s Six Nations soon to get underway – with Scotland playing Wales on March 23rd – it’s another opportunity to put that progress to the test.

    In this episode of SportSpiel we look ahead to the upcoming Six Nations with Helen – who plays her club rugby with Loughborough Lightning – as well as talking about the journey this Scotland team has been on.

    But there’s also a chance to look at Helen’s own journey – from first trying out rugby at the age of six, to becoming a member of the Scottish Alpine ski team, as well as returning to rugby at university after being turned down for football.

    As so happened, that university experience helped set her up on the path she’s currently on – and now it’s just as much inspiring the next generation in rugby as it is trying to improve in the here and now.

    That’s also something Helen knows all too well – the absence of any true female sporting role models when she was younger was, in her mind, something that could well have had an impact on her as she struggled with body image issues.

    It’s another lesson in just how important seeing women’s sport can be. After all – seeing it is believing it.
