About the Podcast

The Sporting Backbone
Hearing from those behind the scenes in the sporting world.
Behind every sporting team, is a group of support staff who provide the backbone on which success is built. Here, we celebrate those who aren’t on the pitch when trophies are lifted, and rarely leave the shadows to get the credit they deserve.
