Women in sport get the short end of the stick in many circumstances. With increased attention on women playing sports that was traditionally men’s domain, we wanted to learn a little more about how we can take away the label of ‘women’s’ or ‘men’s’ sport and simply talk about the game itself.  The girls ask freshly retired netball star, Sharni Layton her thoughts, learn how it has shaped her life both on and off the court and what we can take from sport and translate it into our daily lives.
