"The greatest limitation to people jumping sport, is tradition."
Netball legend Lisa Alexander, and England Rugby's Eddie Jones discuss Lisa's move to the Australian Football League - or Aussie Rules
They ask, can you swap sports and still be a success?
Not just swapping sports, but swapping from coaching women to men… Female coaches in male sport are a rarity but Alexander has the backing of her friend of 20 years, and real coaching heavyweight - England Rugby’s Eddie Jones.
In a discussion with Sportshour's Caroline Barker, they review the mutual respect they have for each other, the value of developing relationships with other coaches, techniques, and what it takes to be a success including breaking sport traditions.
