'Around The Grounds' with Kasey Badger ‘Trailblazer, NRL Referee and terrible singer (although I think she is the Beyoncé of the touchline)

<p>To celebrate the NRL Women In League Round (that’s National Rugby League for those outside Oz) I chatted with the magnificent Kasey Badger. I was lucky enough to meet Kasey back when I worked at NRL, loved her then and still love her now. She is such an inspiration. Kasey is one of only two females (Belinda Sharpe being the other) that have reached the NRL refereeing level – think premiere league if you are a football / soccer fan. So incredible!&nbsp;</p><p>She is also a modern history lover and was a mean member of the debating club back in her school days. She is funny, warm, has spent her life wearing tracksuits (and makes them look good), has an epic story to tell and is married to the equally outstanding Gavin Badger (who is also an NRL referee). I spoke to Kasey from inside the NRL bubble – don’t freak out it was over Zoom!&nbsp;</p><br><p>You can follow Kasey on Instagram @kaseybadger, check out the gym her &amp; Gavin own at @peakaltitudetrainingbrookvale&nbsp;and you can listen to Kasey co-host of&nbsp;&nbsp;‘Refs Round Up’ podcast</p> <br /><hr><p style='color:grey; font-size:0.75em;'> See <a style='color:grey;' target='_blank' rel='noopener noreferrer' href='https://acast.com/privacy'>acast.com/privacy</a> for privacy and opt-out information.</p>
