As you might already know I am loyal supporter of the Brisbane Broncos since the early '90s. Like 100,000’s of others, I've witnessed the exhilarating highs of the 90s and 2000’s and just last year, the challenging lows, and every year in between, that come with being part of such a storied club. This season, despite all of OUR collective expectations, it didn’t unfold with a finals finish. However, I firmly believe that it’s in these challenging moments where true character and resilience are forged. The cartoon by Brett Lethbridge in today’s Sunday Mail while humourous, captures a moment of reflection that resonates deeply—not just for our players and coaches, but it should be for all of us who stand by this club. It’s easy to be disappointed when things don’t go our way, especially after the high of last year’s grand final. Yet, I choose to focus on the positives: the moments of joy, the lessons we've learned, the growth we've experienced, and the unwavering passion that continues to drive every member of the Broncos community. In both sports and life, success is rarely a straight line. It’s about how we adapt, learn, and come back stronger. I have no doubt that our team will use this season as an opportunity to reflect, regroup, and refocus on what it takes to climb back to the top. Let’s continue to support our team whether it be your family, friends or colleagues—not only in moments of triumph but also when our resolve is tested. After all, it’s resilience that separates the good from the great, and I firmly believe the Brisbane Broncos are destined for greatness.

🌟Tiger Woods: And the Need to Address Ableism in Sports🌟 Tiger Woods is and always will be an amazing golfer whose career is marked by numerous triumphs and major challenges. Listening to the SkySports commentators of the Open at Troon today, they focus and comment continually on whether he is limping or grimacing, often lamenting what they perceive as the downfall of a hero, and they don’t want to watch it. But what they are really doing is missing the point. From significant back surgeries to the devastating car accident in 2021, which would have ended most people’s careers, Tiger Woods could have given up, but he didn’t. He returned to the golf course and inspired us all over again. Yet, his journey also highlights some critical issues: 🏌♂️ Society and media often measure Woods against his peak performance, overlooking the profound impact of his injuries. This reflects a broader ableist attitude that values athletes' past capabilities over their current realities. We should celebrate what athletes can achieve at any stage, respecting their physical limitations without undue pressure. 🏌♂️ While Woods' story is inspirational, framing his comebacks as merely "overcoming" injuries perpetuates ableism. If we balance celebrating achievements with acknowledging physical realities, we promote acceptance and adaptation. Woods' experiences shed light on the need for greater accessibility in golf and sports in general. While there are adaptive golf programmes, systemic cultural changes are needed to make the sport more inclusive for people with disabilities. 🏌️♂️ The portrayal of Woods' injuries and comebacks can challenge or reinforce ableist attitudes. By focusing on his resilience and respecting his limitations, the media can help shift public perception towards a more inclusive mindsets, therefore the golf commentators should be mindful of their lamentations. Tiger Woods' story is not just one of personal resilience but a call to action for all of us to address ableism in sports and beyond. Let's celebrate all athletes for their achievements and support a culture that values inclusivity and respect. https://lnkd.in/e6meq7WT #TigerWoods #Ableism #Golf #Inclusion #Resilience #AdaptiveSports #DisabilityAwareness #SportsInclusion #Golf4All

Let’s go

📈 Skiing fast, doing tricks and floating through the anti-gravity zones at Kimbo Sessions gives you some pretty intense feelings. It's bumpy, floaty, hectic, calm, cruisey, vibey, wavey, scary, and stressful all at once. I never experienced having to ski that fast just to cruise through some “chill” park features before. Skiing the Kimbo Sessions park is almost its own genre of skiing that I haven't experienced anywhere else. 💆♀️ It's impossible to describe the feelings it gives me with words, which is why I'm so psyched to present this edit. B-mack x Kimbo is a traditional park edit with a modern take, portraying the overwhelming feelings I get cruising fast through the Kimbo sessions park doing my favorite tricks. Big props to Espen Bølum Thomassen for making magic behind the camera and editing board, translating this sea of emotions into visual art. And Big props to Kim Boberg for putting on such an epic event, can't wait for this year's. 😬 #kimbosessions
