Join V8 Supercar commentator and Sleeptite CEO, Cameron van den Dungen, as we explore a day in the life of an elite athlete and scientist, what research says about female participation in sport, and even how science and maths play a role in football.
Dr Erin Hoare plays for Geelong Cats and is a former Australian Netballer. She is also a psychologist and a Postdoctoral Fellow at Deakin University's Food and Mood Centre. Erin will discuss her experience as a successful elite athlete, a psychologist and a researcher.

She leads the Sport and Recreation Spatial project, a collaborative venture of Federation and Victoria Universities, which looks at sport participation, population demographics and population health. She will discuss the current data, trends and initiatives in sport participation in Australia.
