How do you balance a career as a professional athlete and your own desire to become a mum? Matildas and Brisbane Roar player Katrina Gorry wanted both and now she’s successfully navigating returning to sport with her newborn daughter.

Katrina Gorry joined the W League as a teenager. Since then she’s played for teams in Japan, Norway and the United States and she was part of the Matildas team for the Rio Olympics. But the international sporting life has also taken its toll on Katrina, leaving her exhausted and battling an eating disorder.

Katrina joins host Sam Squiers to discuss supporting, and being supported by, her younger brother with Down Syndrome, Dylan, the growth of the Matildas, overcoming her eating disorder through pregnancy and her decision to become a single mum to her daughter Harper.

Brisbane Roar defender Carson Pickett joins Sam Squiers on “On Her Game” to chat about growing up with a “uniqueness”, playing football around the world and the heart-warming photo of her and a young fan that went viral.
