the pressure and privilege of being a goalkeeper with a-league premiership goalkeeper beth mason-jones

After watching that insane penalty shoot out at the FIFA Women’s World Cup, I’m so curious to hear from anyone who has been a soccer goal keeper at a high level – and Beth Mason-Jones is exactly that. Beth signed for Melbourne Victory at 19, claiming an A-League Premiership in her 3-year stint before moving across to Canberra United.


Beth joined Victoria Police in 2019 as a Protective Services Officer. This chat involved some incredible lessons Beth has learned about looking after yourself and your mental health, and finding the confidence to take a leap at new opportunities.

the presser: running across antarctica with donna urquhart

Run Antarctica is a world first, Guinness World Record attempt to complete the longest ultramarathon in a polar region in history. Donna Urquhart is an ultra-marathon runner and pain scientist who is about to attempt at Union Glacier Camp in Antarctica, the coldest, windiest and driest desert on earth, on 4th December 2023.


The conditions will include sub-zero temperatures, winds of up to 100km/h. Donna is doing it for her life’s passion: showing other females what is possible for them, and empowering them with a holistic approach of integrating mental and physical skills to explore their own possibilities. She aims to break down the barriers that prevent women and girls from participating.


Research shows that girls can find sport “stressful” and that 50% stop participating during adolescence (aged 15-19 years).


The steps we will take through Run Antarctica include; raising awareness about females’ experience of sport, providing education on a holistic approach to sport, and raising funds for our charity partners: Danny Frawley Centre, Stars Foundation, GAME, & Sports Excellence Scholarship Fund
