On this episode of The Sports Girlie Podcast, Jeanae Robinson sits down with Jamaican track and field athlete Jezelle Shaw for an honest and reflective conversation about life beyond the track.

In a country where sprinting excellence is expected, athletes often carry pressure that goes far beyond race day. Jezelle opens up about the journey behind the medals — navigating expectations, mental health, identity, and the challenge of separating performance from self-worth.

This episode explores what it really means to grow as a young athlete in Jamaica’s powerful track and field culture, while still discovering who you are outside of competition.

From the pressure of representing your country to protecting your confidence in an era of social media comparison, this conversation reminds us that athletes are more than their times on the clock.

Topics discussed:
• Jamaican track culture and expectations
• Mental health in elite sport
• Identity beyond athletics
• Handling pressure and comparison
• Dreams, legacy, and life after track

Because at the end of the day, athletes are more than their lane assignments.

We’ve talked football.
We’ve talked track and field.
But today… we’re stepping onto the hardwood.

On this episode of The Sports Girlie Podcast, Jeanae Robinson sits down with Assistant Coach of Basketball Jamaica, Coach Nyron “Stumbo” Hurd, for an honest and necessary conversation about the future of Jamaican basketball.

Is basketball truly alive in Jamaica?
What’s holding it back — infrastructure or belief?
And can we realistically compete on the global stage within the next decade?

From coaching philosophy and player development to grassroots systems, diaspora recruitment, and the culture shift required to build a basketball nation — this episode goes beyond the surface.

If you care about the evolution of Jamaican sport, this conversation is for you.

Is talent enough?

The call is coming from inside the house.
In Episode 4, we unpack women vs women — the unspoken competition, the subtle shade, and the pressure to be the “chosen” woman. Responding to Episode 3, this conversation dives into why women sometimes uphold the same systems that limit us, and how awareness can help us move differently.
If you’ve ever felt tension in women-led spaces, this one’s for you.

In this episode of The Sports Girlie Podcast, Jeanae Robinson gets real about something so many women feel but rarely say out loud — being invisible in sports spaces.

From being talked over in conversations, to having our knowledge questioned, to being reduced to how we look instead of what we know, women are constantly made to feel like we don’t truly belong in the world of sports. And it’s not because we don’t love the game — it’s because sports media was never built with us in mind.

Jeanae shares personal experiences, cultural realities (especially here in Jamaica), and the quiet ways this exclusion affects women’s confidence, voice, and visibility. This episode is for every girl who has ever loved sports deeply but felt small in the room.

This is why The Sports Girlie exists — to make space for women to show up, speak up, and take up space without apology.

🎙 Listen, share, and join the movement. You belong here.

This episode is dedicated to the life, legacy, and quiet impact of Donald Oliver.

Today’s conversation is not about headlines or highlights — it’s about remembrance. It’s about acknowledging a man whose presence shaped rooms, whose wisdom carried weight, and whose influence will continue to live on through the people he touched.

In this episode, I reflect on:

• The lessons Donald Oliver left behind
• The importance of mentorship, integrity, and showing up fully
• How loss reshapes purpose, perspective, and gratitude
• Why honouring those who poured into us matters — especially when they’re no longer here

This is a moment of pause. A moment of gratitude. A moment to say thank you.

Whether you knew Donald personally or are simply listening with an open heart, this episode is a reminder that impact isn’t always loud — but it is lasting.

🕊️ Rest in peace, Donald Oliver. Your legacy lives on.
