As the daughter of Aussie Rules legend and Hall of Famer Greg Phillips, Erin's first sporting love was Australian Rules football, but at 13 years old she was forced to give up the sport she loved because there was no further pathway for girls to play the game. Devasted but not deterred, she switched codes, taking up basketball to fill the void that footy left behind. Over the next 18 years, Erin reached the highest level of international basketball, including careers with the Australian Opals, in the WNBA and in Europe. Her achievements included a gold medal at the World Championships, two Olympic Games, two WNBA Championships and serving as an assistant coach for the WNBA's Dallas Wings.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Then, in 2017, Erin's lifelong dream of playing professional football finally came true when she was invited to join the inaugural AFLW competition. She was named co-captain of the Adelaide Crows and went on to win three premierships in six seasons before moving to her dad's former club, Port Adelaide, when Port entered the league in 2022, as their inaugural captain. The newly formed women's league changed the Australian sport industry forever, and Erin Phillips was the face of that change, leading by example and gaining the support of the nation throughout her impressive career. Erin left the game with a remarkable list of achievements, including multiple All-Australian as well as league and club best and fairest awards, retiring in 2023 as the most decorated player to date.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Beyond the field and court, Erin reveals the challenges she has faced from all sides, from dealing with body image issues to discovering her sexuality, and starting a family with the love of her life.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003eInside and Out\u003c\/i\u003e is a story about love and resilience, about being okay in your skin and, most importantly, about playing by your own rules.\u003c\/b\u003e","brand":"Arotahi Agency","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48242504761580,"sku":"9781743797341","price":41.99,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/7784\/8556\/files\/9781743797341-inside-out-1.jpg?v=1787973310"}],"url":"https:\/\/bookhero.live\/collections\/erin-phillips.oembed","provider":"Book Hero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
