Episode 3: Sue
“It’s never too late to try something new. It’s never too late to get up, get active and have fun.”
Sue has always loved footy. Growing up in the 70s, Sue dreamt of playing footy with the boys. Society had other ideas when she was told she couldn’t play because she was a girl.
It wasn’t until Sue’s two kids were well into primary school that she decided to focus on her own wellbeing by revisiting her physical activity dreams.
“I thought, this is my chance. I’m 53. If I don’t do this now, I will never, ever get the opportunity again and I’ll regret it.”
In the podcast, Sue reflects on her early love of football and the importance of focusing on her own wellbeing. Be taken on a journey through the twists and turns of Sue’s life, leading her to the realisation that it’s never too late to find what you love to do and follow your physical activity passion.
