The bodies of girls and women in sport are none of your business | Libby Trickett | TEDxBrisbane

Olympic swimming champion, entrepreneur and social changemaker Libby Trickett is on a mission to safeguard and enhance the body image of girls and women in sport. As a multi-world record holder, winner of 24 gold medals, and a mother of three daughters, Libby understands the damage that can be caused by inappropriate, uninformed and unnecessary commentary on girls' and women's bodies and offers a clear and straightforward solution.

Former Australian Swimmer Libby Trickett collected 24 gold medals on the international stage across Olympic, Commonwealth Games and World Championships events. This included eight long course and seven short course world titles, five Commonwealth Games and four Olympic gold medals which were won at three consecutive Olympic Games.

Since retiring from swimming, she has lived many lives, but she is currently studying a Bachelor of Counselling, is the host of the podcast All That Glitters, where she interviews retired athletes on their transition into life after sport, and co-host of The Sport Social podcast which talks about the joy, humanity and heartbreak from the past week in sport. She has also, recently co-founded a business called Unlocking her potential, where the aim is to inspire and empower ALL women to unlock their greatest potential, as well as running after her three young daughters, Poppy, Edwina and Bronte.
