She will win for sure!. [00:17:26] I dont know if you saw just recently there were some moderate criticism about the scheduling of the nipple World Cup that they played a lot of games in a short space of time which for Lisa Alexander the coach of the diamonds said you know she felt that the time is now to expand that tournament to greater numbers of days which of course takes greater investment to allow the athletes to give their best so that theyre at their best and theyre not actually fatigued by the final game and obviously New Zealand had such an extraordinary performance there to win again. Bridie O'Donnell was born on 29 April, 1974 in Australia.

[00:02:25] Well its an opportunity to learn about what you doing there at the Office for Women and Sport and Recreation because its the one and only organization of its kind in the in Australia as I understand it. And how about the increase in female coaches. And I do find myself thinking that a lot whatever work Im doing I think you know what Ive been in a worse situation than this.

But if youre just mediocre as a girl you tend to drop out whereas boys who are mediocre keep going.
