As we head into week 6 (I think… It feels like forever) of lock down with no clear sign of change on the horizon I’m really struggling with the lack of sport to watch. My favourite teams and players are isolating and as amusing as their Instagram stories and TikTok posts are, I’m really missing things. Thankfully podcasts really help provide both a sense of continuity and a suggestion of conversation, so I thought I’d take this opportunity to share a few of my favourites.

We’ve been in lockdown for three weeks now. The disbelief and confusion giving way to waves of fear, frustration and overwhelming sadness as we’re forced to be apart from loved ones.

How do you build credibility into a brand new team? Aligning with an existing brand or club is a good start, it can give your team some identity. Reaching out to the community will help those roots take hold too. The best thing you can do though, is to build that personality on the pitch and show people who you are.
