In today's episode, I chat with Women's NRL Player Georgia Page.   

Georgia is an Osteopath by day and works towards encouraging good mental and physical health in all aspects of an individual's life.  With the recent conception of her Women's Rugby Academy, she has integrated her knowledge and experience of medicine, sport, and 'mental game'. With these unstoppable elements, the Women's Rugby Academy will provide practical ways female contact sport players can both better understand their biomechanics, and prevent injury on the field.   

Georgia went viral in 2015 for a video showing her breaking her nose early on in a rugby match, and proceeding to make two massive tackles. Blood streaming down her face and spitting out of her mouth proved to be the image upheaval Women's Rugby, and female contact sport in general -  needed to show spectators everywhere that women in sport were just as tough as their male peers.   

Dubbed by media as the "Rugby War Goddess", a title she resists, Georgia insists the video simply shone a much-needed light on women's rugby and had the potential to empower and excite young girls and teenagers around the world.   

I know her as a fun and educated friend, but first and foremost her dog is friends with my dogs. We met at the local dog park in Feb 2020 and trained together in my garage gym just before we were hit with the first Covid lockdown. During these sunrise dog walks and garage training sessions, we bonded over our mutual respect for one another, our passion for health, fitness, and mindset, and our seemingly opposite lives.  Georgia has since left town on her WNRL journey and so we were excited to catch up this sunny Sunday morning.   

I hope you enjoy this fun chat with Georgia Page.
