Season 1

What does it really take to wear the Green & Gold?

Behind the Green & Gold is a video series sharing the real stories, challenges and journeys that shape Australia's athletes — in their own words, on their own terms.

From the sacrifices made to the moments that make it all worthwhile, this is the side of elite sport you don't see on the podium.

We are incredibly grateful to Angry Chair, who produce and film every episode of Behind the Green & Gold — generously donating their time and expertise to help us tell these stories. Without them, none of this would be possible.

New episodes dropping regularly in the lead-up to Brisbane 2032.

Stefie Fejes

What started as sneaking away to the beach for one more training session has become a dream of standing on top of the podium in the green & gold. 🏐☀️
 
For Stefie Fejes, beach volleyball is more than a sport. It’s where she feels most herself. But behind every green and gold dream are the realities of travel, training and the financial commitment required to compete at the highest level.
 
That’s why the Aussie Athlete Fund exists: helping athletes access the opportunities and support they need to keep chasing their goals. You too can play a part in supporting Stefie’s journey by donating directly to her here.
