From Farm to Footy

<p>Some people are talented and brave enough to be trailblazers in one industry, but my guest today is breaking down barriers in two male-dominated arenas – footy and farming. She is a star recruit in the AFLW for Greater Western Sydney. Then, when she’s not training or playing, she’s working full-time on the family farm at Holbrook in southern NSW. It means, she lives 6 months in the city and 6 months in the country, whilst studying agriculture in between. At 21 years old age, she is dedicated to both pursuits but is sure the country will play a starring role in her future. Alyce Parker is today’s guest discussing:</p> <ul> <li>Alyce’s favourite place on the family farm.</li> <li>The contrast between her two lives – one as a farmer, one as an ALFW player.</li> <li>Alyce works alongside her family on the farm and shares how this upbringing shaped who she is today.</li> <li>The lessons she learnt through the professional sports arena.</li> <li>Playing 7 different sports at the same time and how these opportunities were supported in a regional area.</li> <li>The life of a farmer, the different roles and how she divides her time between these two passions.</li> <li>She is currently studying a Batchelor of Agricultural Business Management and shares her post-footy dreams.</li> <li>The challenges of being not only a young farmer but a female in the industry – both in Agriculture and Sports.</li> <li>What she loves most about life on the land.</li> <li>The most special and heart-warming experiences Alyce has experienced on the farm.</li> <li>The most common misconception about farming.</li> <li>Alyce’s dream for the future.</li> </ul> <p> </p> <p>We hope to see you back on the road soon, to learn more about how Australia grows on the next episode of Australian Farmers with Angie Asimus.</p> <p> </p> <p>Links:</p> <p><a href="https://angieasimus.com/">Angie Asimus</a></p> <p><a href="https://www.instagram.com/angieasimus/">Connect with @angieasimus on Instagram</a></p> <p><a href="https://farmers.org.au/">Partnered with
