Train Smarter With Your Cycle is a powerful conversation with Jess Stoll - Director, The Female Collective, women’s health educator, women’s health physio, NRLW Dragons and Samoan team physio and Founder of Project FEM.

In this episode, we unpack how the menstrual cycle actually impacts performance, recovery and confidence and why female athletes have been trained with the wrong assumptions for far too long.

Jess breaks down:

• Why women aren’t “small men” and why that matters for training

• The biggest myths female athletes believe about periods and performance

• Red flags athletes should stop ignoring (including missed periods and pain)

• Why one-size-fits-all menstrual cycle training can do more harm than good

• How understanding your cycle can help you train smarter, not less

We also explore the inspiration behind Project FEM, the education gap facing young girls and women in sport, and why open conversations around women’s health are essential, not optional, in modern high-performance environments.

This episode is a must-listen for female athletes, coaches, parents, schools, clubs and anyone supporting women to perform at their best, in sport, work and life.

What does it really take to become a world champion and stay grounded along the way?

In this episode of Becoming MatchFit, Nic Greentree sits down with Adele Fornarino, Australia’s first Jiu Jitsu double gold world champion and the world’s #1 female grappler.

Adele shares her journey from a 10-year-old Googling 'martial arts near me' to competing on the world stage, and the mindset shifts that have shaped her success far beyond the podium.

This is a powerful conversation about confidence, resilience, pressure, and the realities of elite sport that don’t always get talked about.

• Why confidence can’t depend on winning

• How Adele reframes losses as learning, not failure

• Managing pressure, perfectionism and expectations at an elite level

• The routines and rituals that help her perform when it matters most

• The hidden costs of being a world-class athlete and why sponsorship matters

• What legacy means for Adele and the future of women’s sport

• What Becoming MatchFit really looks like beyond physical performance

Whether you’re an athlete, coach, high performer or someone navigating pressure in your own life, this episode offers practical insights you can apply well beyond sport.

Most athletes don’t think about super - not because they don’t care, but because no one explains it in a way that feels relevant.

In this episode of Becoming MatchFit, Nic Greentree is joined by financial educator and host of Her Money Matters, Naomi Holmes, to unpack why superannuation matters far earlier in an athlete’s career than most people realise, and why it’s never too late to start paying attention.

Athletes move clubs, contracts and careers. They face injuries, gaps in employment, and often earn income in short, intense bursts. Super is meant to move with you, but without understanding it, many athletes lose confidence, clarity and control.

In this conversation, Naomi breaks down:

• Why super isn’t just about retirement - it’s about control now

• What happens to your super when you change clubs, jobs or contracts

• How insurance can sit inside super and support athletes through injury

• Why many athletes feel 'behind' and why that mindset isn’t true

• Simple first steps you can take at any stage of your career

This isn’t about being good with money.
It’s about starting - wherever you are.

To support athletes after this episode, we’ve created a free Athlete Super Check-In inside the MatchFit360 Academy.

It helps you:

• Work out how many super accounts you have

• Spot gaps from changing clubs, jobs or contracts

• Understand what insurance you may (or may not) have

• Identify your next best step - without overwhelm or numbers
