Looking back on my time playing representative sport, we had no were near the amount of support and guidance that young athletes have these days.  The only catch with that is athletes today have much more pressure from a younger age.  Across the next 2 episodes I will be talking to a male and female young athlete to hear their perspective on their careers and career aspirations plus how they deal with the pressures of playing at a representative level.

In this episode I talk to Lucia Liessi, a young female footy player who is juggling year 12 and representative sport.  We talk about representing Queensland, being the the Brisbane Lions Academy and how she approaches each game.  This is a great insight to a young adults mindset and how they're wired when it comes to their sport.
