We’re thrilled to announce that Caity Parker OLY, Olympic bronze medalist in boxing at the Paris 2024 Games, has officially joined Play Like a Girl Australia as an ambassador!
Caity is no stranger to breaking barriers. As one of Australia’s top female athletes, she has fought (literally and figuratively) for her place on the world stage, overcoming challenges, defying expectations, and proving that women in sport belong at the highest level.
But her impact extends far beyond the boxing ring—she is a passionate advocate for leadership, resilience, and empowering women and girls in sport.
Over the past year, Caity and Play Like a Girl have collaborated on a series of speaking engagements, inspiring young athletes, teams, and organisations with her raw, authentic storytelling.
She’s also been a guest on the Play Like a Girl podcast, sharing insights on confidence, mindset, and what it takes to thrive in high-performance environments. Now, as an official ambassador, her influence will continue to grow, helping to create more opportunities for women in sport.
Caity Parker OLY on Joining Play Like a Girl:
"Sport has given me so much—discipline, resilience, and a voice. But I know firsthand how challenging it can be to find your place in a world that sometimes feels like it wasn’t built for you.
That’s why I’m so excited to be joining Play Like a Girl Australia—to help empower more women and girls to step up, take space, and own their power, both in sport and in life."
At Play Like a Girl Australia, we’re about more than just sport — we’re about developing leaders, changemakers, and confident individuals who are ready to take on the world.
Caity embodies this mission. Her journey from athlete to leader, speaker, and mentor makes her the perfect role model for our community.
She knows firsthand what it means to step into the ring — both in sport and in life. She understands the mental and physical demands of elite competition, the setbacks, the comebacks, and the drive required to push forward.
Her story is one that resonates with women and girls at every stage of their journey — whether they’re stepping onto the field, into leadership roles, or simply finding the confidence to back themselves.
As an ambassador, Caity will continue to inspire, educate, and empower women in sport through:
