Tania Hird is an Extreme Soccer Mum. She is also an ex lawyer, mother of 4 and founder & CEO of HairflairAus and Tania Hird Designs. Tania knows elite sport. Her son Alex plays for A- League team, Melbourne Knights. But yes - that surname IS familiar. For many years too, Tania was the wife and partner of Essendon Football legend and coach, James Hird. By James' side steadfastly, Tania experienced both the mercurial highs and devastating lows of an ultra extreme elite football experience. This is a candid conversation born of those observations: about raising elite athletes to be of good character, and develop a strong sense of self that exists away from the game. Don't get ahead of yourself, is Tania's mantra, observing that respect for others is just insufficient - there must be true care for others instilled in any elite athlete, to take them outside a world that otherwise would be all about themselves. Football, fame, fuck ups and fortitude - these are the observations Tania brings to this episode, from a rarified position with high heeled feet firmly on the ground. Tania Hird. She's a legend.
