Celebrating Leadership and Resilience in Women’s Sport

I recently had the pleasure of spending time with an incredible role model — Matilda Scholz, one of Port Adelaide’s rising AFLW stars.

Matilda is more than a talented athlete; she’s a powerful reminder of what leadership, resilience, and genuine passion look like in Australian sport. Every day, women push through extra barriers to reach their goals and take the next step toward true inclusion — and Matilda is proof of what’s possible when talent meets determination.

Her grit on and off the field is inspiring a new generation of young women to aim higher, back themselves, and know they deserve every opportunity. These are the women leading the way — and our community is stronger for it.
