Welcome back to Shooting The Breeze! We talk with Deakin Melbourne Boomers General Manager Christy Collier-Hill about the 2020 North Queensland WNBL hub season and the team’s experience.
Also on the agenda is the challenge of the COVID era and getting fans back to home stadiums ‘everyone’s got to play their part’… and the elephant in the room - broadcast - but more on that later.
A strong advocate for developing women’s professional sports Christy sees the opportunity presented by the Olympics and the Women’s World Cup as a way to raise the profile and grow women’s professional basketball in Australia.
Lots to unpack here as we embark on the next series of Shooting The Breeze and a new era of basketball coming our way!
Christy is also a passionate advocate of breast cancer survivors as a director at Dragons Abreast Australia and founder of The Pink Movement.
