Lose Yourself in Sports (Part 1): How Game Changers changed the Game | Impact and Sustainable Solutions of the Sports Industry

Part 1 of the episode. Don't miss Jonny Wilkinson's interview in Part 2.

“You only get one shot, do not miss your chance to blow.

This opportunity comes once in a lifetime”.

In this episode about sports, these lyrics from Eminem’s hit song ‘Lose Yourself‘ resonate deeply. Throughout History, from civil rights to diversity and inclusion, sports have deeply shaped, inspired and changed our individual and collective human experiences.

This episode is a celebration of all things sports. In the first part of this episode, we explore the past, the present and the future of sports, in the face of climate change. We also take a trip down memory lane and revisited some of the best moments in sports history and the stars who ceased the opportunity at the right moment. From Muhammad Ali's 'Rumble in the Jungle' to Serena Williams' US Open in 1999, we explored them all.

And in part two, Kokou Agbo-Bloua interviews rugby legend Jonny Wilkinson on how you can go beyond your internal limits and awake the star within. Jonny shares with us lessons from his career, which are sure to help you in and off the field.
