About Inside and Out: A Story of Family, Self and Sport (Unabridged)

An inspiring story about love and resilience, from one of Australia's all-time sporting champions – AFLW icon and basketball legend Erin Phillips.

In this honest and revealing memoir, Erin Phillips candidly looks back at her astonishing playing journey and life so far. 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.

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 Port Adelaide 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.

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.
