Interview with Women’s Footballer Jessica Baguley

Meet Women’s Footballer and PARC employee Jessica Baguley

1. Your thoughts on women in football?

I absolutely love women’s football! It’s incredible, the physicality, the endurance and the mateship that’s involved in women’s football is fantastic. You feel like you’re part of a family in a sense and you win together and you lose together. It’s a rewarding sport and pushes me harder than any other sport I’ve tried. I see women’s football evolving into more towards the men’s league with more teams, skill development and more teams at an elite level.

2. How long have you been playing?

This year will be my fourth year playing football. I started in the juniors in 2014 and transitioned into the Senior Women’s side in 2015 for Seaford Tigerettes with the possibility of getting selected for the VFL Women’s League. I play centre half forward, wing, centre half back and ruck.

3. Your training methods (inside and outside of PARC)?

Training methods is a lot of running. 2 minutes running x 6 with 1 minute break twice a week (which I cover 400m each block roughly) followed by another run during the week and two weights sessions at PARC which include chin ups, squats, abs sessions, etc in the week as well as a hydro recovery session to help the recovery process. I am currently completing personal training with Jayden to focus on some sport specific conditioning and development.

4. What would you say to any girls wanting to play football?

It is so possible now to get into girls football as there is so many teams and clubs with competitions in every league. It’s great to see it now being promoted through AFL and televised so there are many role models to look up to.

A feel good Friday post for you... Nic kicks two goals, in one! 🏉

Nicole, one of our long term PARC Team members, achieved a life-long dream last weekend. 

Nic has always wanted to play football, and last week, she not only achieved that dream, but kicked her first goal at her very first game! What made it even more special was who she shared it with. Her daughter Bella was her teammate on the field (you might recognise Bella from the PARC Cafe!), her son Billy was the proud goal umpire🌟

Nic is an amazing part of Team PARC, and an example that shows it doesn’t matter how old you are to start something new. If you have a dream or goal that you want to achieve, go for it, we are here to support you! Congrats Nic! 🩵

Achieving your 30-20-2 is easier than you think! 🏋️

Our formula is designed so that you can be active anywhere, anytime. We know it can be more difficult to get your movement in when the weather is cooler, so we wanted to share some simple exercises that you can do at home, without any equipment needed. 

30-20-2 is all about movement in ways that work for you, so remember:
✅ Moving doesn't need to be overwhelming. You can break up your exercise into smaller bite size pieces, such as taking ten minutes three times a day to get your movement in. 
✅ Everybody's fitness level and ability is different, so doing altered movements does not have any less of a positive impact. 
✅ Prioritising your health and wellbeing goals doesn’t just improve your fitness, it changes how you feel, think, and connect with the world around you.
