More Than a Body – Confidence, Pressure & Playing the Game

This is an important one ❤️

In this episode of Off the Posts: Scarletts Edition, Georgi is joined by Jess to have an honest and powerful conversation about body confidence in netball — and how it impacts performance, mental health, and whether girls stay in sport at all.

From social media pressures to “body talk” on the sidelines, this episode explores the realities faced by women and girls every single week on grassroots courts — and how we can start to change the narrative.

In this episode, we cover:
🧠 What body confidence really means (and why it matters in sport)
📱 The impact of social media and the “perfect athlete body” myth
💬 Body talk — what it is, why it’s harmful, and how to challenge it
📊 Real statistics on body image, mental health & girls dropping out of sport
🎤 Voices from the court — celebrating what our bodies can do
⚠️ The link between body image, mental health & eating disorders
🌟 How sport can build body confidence in the right environment
🌟 Scarletts Shoutouts — for every player showing up despite doubt
😂 Pass, Shoot, Stand Out of Play — Body Confidence Edition

This episode is about shifting the focus — from how our bodies look, to what they allow us to do. Because netball should be a space where everyone feels confident, supported, and able to thrive.
