Empowering Young athletes to succeed both on and off the field.

We are excited to share exclusive story featuring Trae McGovern, a former Matilda who is sharing her inspiring journey publicly for the first time through Play Like a Girl Australia. This narrative is particularly timely, given its connection to the recently released "Trailblazers" documentary, where Trae hinted at having a hard time but never disclosed the reasons behind it. Now, she reveals her untold story of resilience and triumph. About the Story: Trae McGovern delves into her childhood in Warchope, NSW, where she faced the challenges of being the only girl in a boys' football league. Her resilience and determination propelled her to rise to the top and become a Matilda. In this exclusive story, Trae shares defining moments, including her struggles with traumatic events as a young girl and the PTSD she faced throughout her life. She also reflects on the significant impact of the Matildas calendar and her unexpected departure from football after the 2000 Olympics. This is only part one of her incredible journey. Enjoy the episode

These are the women who changed football. The Stan Original Documentary Trailblazers, in partnership with MECCA M-POWER, and starring football legends Sam Kerr and more, premieres June 4, only on Stan. #TrailblazersFilm #StanOriginals #MECCAmoment #BlazeATrail #MECCAMPOWER Subscribe to our YouTube channel: @StanAus Like Stan on Facebook at: https://www.facebook.com/StanAustralia Follow us on Instagram at: https://www.instagram.com/stanaustralia Follow us on TikTok at: https://www.tiktok.com/@stanaustralia Follow us on Twitter at: https://twitter.com/stanaustralia

Katrina Gorry was a key part of the Matildas line-up that captured Australia’s imagination during last year’s women’s football World Cup. But the road to glory hasn’t been an easy one for the 31-year-old mid fielder. Just a few years before, she was struggling with an eating disorder and considering walking away from the game. All that changed with the birth of daughter Harper in 2021, which re-ignited Katrina’s love for the game and gave her a new-found respect for her body. As the Matildas prepare for the Olympics in Paris, Katrina Gorry is at the top of her game.
