“It has been developed with a group of current students and that will continue through the series. A special thanks needs to go to MSc Sport Management student Siddhanth Dsouza who has been instrumental in developing this podcast so far.”
Future episodes will see Martin joined by a variety of guests covering topics including ‘Will Brexit destroy the Premier League’, ‘Let’s talk about the menstrual cycle: how it can affect performance and what athletes and coaches should be doing’, and ‘The mapping of corruption in sport’.
