  • 259: Alisa Camplin (Player Profile)
    Jan 28 2026

    A winter sporting trailblazer! Alisa is an Olympic gold medallist and current Chef de Mission for Australia’s Winter Olympic team, leading the next generation on the world’s biggest stage.

    Her full story shows why she is one of the toughest, most resilient guests we have ever featured on the Howie Games. But first, we have some fun as we discover a self-confessed science nerd who loves history, and can knock out a mean Excel spreadsheet — or serve ice cream with equal confidence. Plus, her love for Collingwood.

    Alisa is Chef de Mission of Australia’s Winter Olympic team, which takes on the world from Feburary 6 to Feburary 22. It is a once-in-a-generation mix of experience and youth, with five recent Olympic medallists, exciting teenage talent, and 26 World Cup medals this season showing we belong on the world stage. As Chef de Mission, Alisa Camplin will be building camaraderie and focusing on helping every athlete — from medal contenders to first-timers — deliver their best performance.

    Come on you Aussies!

  • 258: Jess Hull (Part B)
    Jan 21 2026

    From cross-country carnivals to the Olympic podium in Paris, Jess Hull’s rise is one of Australian sport’s great stories.

    This one is a powerful conversation as Jess reflects on the years of unseen work that took her from school athletics to becoming an Olympic silver medallist and one of the fastest women in history.

    From Wollongong to breaking Oceanian records, NCAA success at Oregon, the pressure of the world stage, and what it takes to keep pushing the limits of her performance. It's a career built on belief and discipline.

    But beyond the medals, this is about mindset, resilience, nutrition, recovery and staying grounded while chasing greatness.

    She is an Aussie legend already, and she is destined for even bigger things.
