New podcast episode! 🎙️ 𝗠𝗲𝗻, 𝘀𝗽𝗼𝗿𝘁, 𝘃𝗶𝗼𝗹𝗲𝗻𝗰𝗲 𝗽𝗿𝗲𝘃𝗲𝗻𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 (𝗣𝗮𝗿𝘁 𝟭) 𝘄𝗶𝘁𝗵 𝗝𝗮𝗰𝗸𝘀𝗼𝗻 𝗞𝗮𝘁𝘇

In May 2024, all 18 teams in the Australian Football League stood for a minute’s silence, arm in arm, to take a united stance on preventing men’s violence against women.

The statistic of 1 woman being murdered a week at the hands of a man they know is now ingrained in the way we speak about domestic violence in Australia.

In reality, it’s only the tip of the iceberg. What lies beneath are injured victim-survivors and traumatised kids; Broken families and disconnected communities.

Lost friendships and issues with mental health; People living in fear, intimidation, sadness, and regret; A culture of abuse and violence.

Men’s violence against other men is also a significant issue. The pressure to be a “real man,” act tough and suppress emotions are the hallmarks of a masculinity that don’t allow men to fully express themselves. It’s leading to higher incarceration rates, mental health issues and higher rates of su***de.
The consequences of men’s violence ripple out into other parts of people’s lives, their workplaces, schools and of course, in community sports clubs.

Sport mirrors society – so it’s no surprise we see violence and abuse in our clubs: coaches yell at players; parents insult umpires; players sledge and swear; and the way teams easily break down into punch-ons and all-in brawls.

So, what responsibility do men have in reducing violence and abuse?

Our guest today is Jackson Katz, a thought leader in the global movement of men working to promote gender equality and prevent gender violence.

Jackson once wrote, “we need to redefine strength in men, not as a power over other people, but as forces for justice.”

30. Dancing with the Stars – Paris 2024 style

One of the great innovations of the Paris Olympics was the Parc des Champs or Champions Park at Trocadero Gardens at the base of the Eiffel Tower.

Every evening the medal winners from all the countries would come together to celebrate their victories with each other and the fans.

A perfect example is the joyous dancing between Japanese gymnast Takaaki Sugino and Great Britain rower Hannah Scott.

In 2021 the Olympics updated their motto ‘Faster, Higher, Stronger’ to include the word ‘Together’, beautifully encapsulated by this pair.

Simply Magnifique!
