No. 176: Gliders Rising - Craig Campbell & Shelley Matheson

Shooting The Breeze

27-06-2024 • 56 mins

In a very special episode we have joining us - Aussie Womens Wheelchair Head Coach Craig Campbell and Gliders Vet Shelley Matheson a.k.a  ‘Chaps’!

Shelley has come back out of retirement in a stunning return to form for the Gliders squad from which she has left an indelible mark to help navigate a rebuild of the team.

Her passion to assist her beloved Gliders is clear, after narrowly missing a paralympic berth at Paris in what’s been a perfect storm of covid restrictions, limited games for our elite wheelchair teams and a transitioning squad, we get an amazing insight from Shelley and Craig on the hopes and possibilities to realise the full potential of our talented womens wheelchair athletes.

With a full home and away National Wheelchair league currently taking place alongside the rare opportunity for our Gliders to play at home amongst their peers at John Cain Arena next week the foundations are laid for a Gliders revival.

Enjoy!
