What's changing right now isn't the caliber of leaders. It's the environment we're leading in.

Skeleton is one of the oldest winter sports in existence. Ella Al-Shamahi talks to two Olympic medallists whose careers have seen them sliding down an icy track – face first – at speeds of up to 140 kilometres an hour.Lizzy Yarnold won gold medals for skeleton at successive Winter Olympics. She joined the Great Britain national squad in 2010, winning Olympic gold in 2014 and 2018, and is the most successful British Winter Olympian and skeleton athlete of all time from any nation.Kimberley Bos is a World Champion skeleton racer from the Netherlands and will be competing at the 2026 Winter Olympics in Italy. She originally competed internationally in bobsleigh, before switching to skeleton for the 2013–14 European Cup season – being the only skeleton athlete representing her country for years. She won a bronze medal at the Beijing Winter Olympics in 2021 – the first Olympic medal winner for her country in a sliding sport. Kimberley went on to win the World Championships in Lake Placid in March 2025.Produced by Jane Thurlow(Image: (L) Kimberley Bos credit Viesturs Lacis. (R), Lizzy Yarnold credit Karen Yeoman.)

“When I first walked into the FA, I felt completely out of place - like an alien at someone else's party. The culture was so unfamiliar that I doubted whether I belonged at all. But by finding allies and quietly building a team who believed in change, I realised I could make an impact.”Baroness Sue Campbell is one of the most influential leaders in British sport, a woman whose entire career has been driven by a single mission: to use sport to change lives. Recorded live at the Leaders in Sport 2025 Summit, this conversation revisits her extraordinary impact at the FA, her pivotal role in the Lionesses' Euro 2022 triumph and her new chapter chairing England Netball.She talks openly about resilience rooted in moral purpose and the power of authentic leadership. We explore how staying focused on her mission, and not personal ego, has carried her through moments of doubt, sexism and deep personal challenge.Sue speaks movingly about the Lionesses' journey, working with Sarina Wiegman and the unforgettable night at Wembley when years of pressure and self-doubt melted into joy. But she also warns of the current “illusion” of success in women's sport, urging urgent investment in the ‘missing middle' - the semi-professional pathways that must be strengthened if young women are truly to build sustainable careers in sport.Now leading England Netball, Sue shares her passion for growing the sport's profile and protecting the unique culture that makes women's sport so special - community, safety, authenticity and connection.Her message for future leaders is clear and compelling: stay authentic, find your purpose, learn relentlessly and never underestimate the power of one determined individual to change the world.Thank you to Sport England who support The Game Changers Podcast with a National Lottery award.Find out more about The Game Changers podcast here: https://www.fearlesswomen.co.uk/thegamechangersHosted by Sue AnstissProduced by Sam Walker, What Goes On MediaA Fearless Women production

Join me as I welcome historian and bestselling author Dr. Elizabeth Cobbs about her book Fearless Women and her powerful concept of patriotic feminism. Dr. Cobbs explains how generations of American women have pushed the nation to live up to its founding ideals, often pairing a deep love of country with a bold willingness to demand change.Our conversation explores the women who shaped U.S. history—famous and forgotten—and the surprising ways their activism, labor, and leadership moved the country forward. This episode is a compelling look at how patriotic feminism has influenced American identity from the founding era to today.Support the show

Senior leaders who listen to this episode recognize the moment it speaks to immediately. The pressure to perform has not eased. The demands have not slowed. And yet the strategies that once delivered certainty now require recalibration. This conversation meets leaders in that exact space, offering perspective, grounding, and a steadier way forward without walking away from what they have built.We sit down with author and radio host Lisa Parda to explore what leadership looks like in the in-between season so many leaders quietly navigate. Together, we reflect on identity, wellness, reinvention, and the inner shifts that occur when pushing harder is no longer the answer.This is a conversation for leaders who are carrying responsibility with strength and curiosity, and who are ready to relate to their leadership and their lives with greater intention.Listeners walk away with:A new lens for navigating leadership identity during seasons of constant changeInsight into how to redesign how they lead without abandoning what they have builtA steadier framework for sustaining performance, clarity, and self-trust over time

“We're at an inflection point - fans, sponsors and the next generation are demanding better. Sport has to decide what future it wants.”On today's must listen episode of The Game Changers podcast, pioneering human rights lawyer and Athlead CEO Kat Craig explores how sport can change the world, yet why it too often simply replicates its worst injustices. Kat offers a compelling blueprint from a world-leading voice: how to move from statements to structure and build safer, fairer sport for everyone.Driven by what she calls an “allergic reaction to injustice”, Kat charts her path from frontline human rights legal work to a decade inside the sports system, and explains why she founded AthLead, to turn athlete voice, sport-for-good strategy and rights-based governance into meaningful, lasting culture change.Kat doesn't shy away from hard truths. Sport's centralised power and insularity, she argues, create blind spots that silence those most harmed by discrimination and abuse.We also dive into athlete activism in a polarised era where authenticity matters more than ever, and why better gender balance has the potential to transform sport at every level.Thank you to Sport England who support The Game Changers Podcast with a National Lottery award.Find out more about The Game Changers podcast here: https://www.fearlesswomen.co.uk/thegamechangersHosted by Sue AnstissProduced by Sam Walker, What Goes On MediaA Fearless Women production

Paralympic champion turned open-water pioneer Melanie Barratt shares her extraordinary story of resilience, courage and reinvention. Born with severe visual impairment, Melanie rose to the top of British swimming before stepping away from elite competition to explore new challenges. In 2024, Melanie made history as the first blind woman to swim the English Channel solo - an achievement she says means even more to her than her Paralympic gold medals.In this powerful conversation with Sue Anstiss, Melanie reflects on the joy of discovering water as a child, the pressures and triumphs of Atlanta and Sydney and why she walked away at the height of her career. She explains how open water swimming became her “happy place,” and why conquering the Channel was truly life-changing.Melanie also talks about “blind pride,” her golden prosthetic eye and the importance of representation, as well as her current mission to make open water events more accessible for swimmers with disabilities.

Why are we still telling female rugby coaches they are ‘not ready' to coach at the highest levels of the women's game, when we then say to male players ‘you can go straight into professional coaching when you come off the field'? This is just one of the thought-provoking questions Giselle Mather tackles on today's episode of The Game Changers podcast.Giselle is one of the most influential and pioneering figures in rugby. A formerEngland international and World Cup winner, Giselle's extraordinary coachingcareer has seen her consistently break new ground in the sport.  Giselle was the first woman to earn the RFU's Level 4 coaching qualification and has gone on to lead at the very highest levels of both the men's and women's professional game. In this candid conversation, Giselle relives the raw early years of the women'sgame, from the first Women's World Cup in 1991 to lifting the trophy in 1994,and explains how those experiences forged a coaching philosophy that puts the human before the athlete.Combining elite coaching with a busy family life as a mother of three, Giselle has coached at Wasps, London Irish, Teddington, Ealing Trailfinders and internationally as a coach for England Women and Head Coach for Team GB Women's Rugby 7s, along with the inaugural Women's Barbarians.Giselle shares how she's earned respect in men's environments, the principles that underpin her sessions and the leadership needed to build diverse staff teams where every player can connect and thrive. We talk about how visibility is the fastest route to equality for women's rugby,why elite athletes deserve the very best qualified coaches and how blunt gender quotas in coaching can backfire.Renowned for her vision, passion and commitment to developing people, Giselle has inspired players and coaches across generations.

“When the world forgets Afghanistan, we keep speaking. We are the voices of the women who can no longer be heard.”What would you risk for the right to play sport? For Khalida Popal, the answer is everything.This powerful episode of The Game Changers tells the extraordinary story of a woman who defied the Taliban, challenged a corrupt sporting system and used football to fight for the lives and freedoms of women and girls across the world.Khalida Popal was just a child when her family fled Taliban rule in Afghanistan. In the harsh reality of a refugee camp, she discovered football – a game that gave her joy, freedom, and purpose. Returning to Afghanistan as a teenager, she dared to play in public, formed the country's first women's national team and proudly captained her side in the face of threats, abuse and constant danger.But her leadership didn't stop on the pitch. Khalida spoke out about the abuse of female players by senior figures in Afghan football and uncovered horrific corruption at the highest levels. It was these actions that meant she was eventually forced to flee for her life.Now living in Denmark, Khalida continues her relentless activism through the Girl Power Organisation, while leading a global campaign to get FIFA to recognise Afghan women footballers in exile – players stripped of their national identity simply because they are women.In this gripping and deeply moving conversation, Khalida shares how she helped evacuate over 600 women and girls from Afghanistan when the Taliban returned to power in 2021, what it means to lose your identity as a refugee, and why she refuses to stay silent – even when her own life is at risk.Raw, emotional and deeply inspiring, this is not just a story about sport. It's about power, oppression, survival and hope. Khalida Popal is a true game changer.Thank you to Sport England who support The Game Changers Podcast with a National Lottery award.Find out more about The Game Changers podcast here: https://www.fearlesswomen.co.uk/thegamechangersHosted by Sue AnstissProduced by Sam Walker, What Goes On MediaA Fearless Women production

"I've become the person I needed when I was younger – and that's the greatest gift I can offer the athletes I coach today."Jenny Meadows is a former world-class middle-distance runner and now one of Britain's most respected athletics coaches. Recently honoured – alongside her husband – as BBC Sports Personality Coach of the Year, Jenny is a European and World medallist whose success was forged through resilience, grit and a quiet determination to prove she belonged, even when she often felt like an outsider.In this deeply honest and moving conversation, Jenny shares how sport transformed her from a shy young girl who let her brother speak for her, to someone who found her voice, her power and her purpose through athletics.Affectionately known as the “pocket rocket”, Jenny speaks candidly about the mindset challenges she faced, and how it took her decades to believe she deserved her place at the top of the sport.She discusses the devastating impact of doping in athletics, the heartbreak of missing out on  podiums and finals, and how, ultimately, it was a broken heart that led her to retire.Today, Jenny co-leads the M11 Track Club in Manchester with her husband and long-time coach, Trevor Painter, guiding a group of elite athletes including Olympic gold medallist Keely Hodgkinson.She reflects on the joy of coaching, the role of empathy and the emotional intelligence needed to support high-performing athletes as whole people - not just performers.A passionate advocate for greater gender diversity in coaching, Jenny also shares her hopes for the future and her commitment to creating more visibility, opportunity and community for women in the coaching space.This is a powerful conversation about identity, belief, and finding meaning beyond medals.Thank you to Sport England who support The Game Changers Podcast with a National Lottery award.Find out more about The Game Changers podcast here: https://www.fearlesswomen.co.uk/thegamechangersHosted by Sue AnstissProduced by Sam Walker, What Goes On MediaA Fearless Women production

“Women's physiology isn't a problem to be solved - it's an opportunity to innovate.”In this fascinating episode of The Game Changers podcast, I speak with Professor Kirsty Elliott-Sale, one of the world's leading researchers in female physiology, about the critical need for women-focused sports science.From her unconventional journey into the field, to leading ground-breaking research, Kirsty challenges outdated approaches and highlights why women's health must be at the centre of performance science, not an afterthought.We cover:➡️  Bridging the research gap – why we must innovate rather than simply adapt male-based models➡️  The Centre of Excellence for Women in Sport –  how the Manchester centre is dedicated to advancing research and collaboration➡️  ACL injuries in female athletes – does oestrogen play a role, or are we missing the bigger picture?➡️  Menstrual-cycle-based training – the scientific evidence (or lack of it) behind tailoring training to cycle phases➡️  Pregnancy & performance – how attitudes are shifting, and why more female athletes are competing as mothers➡️  The future of women in sports science – how young women can break into the field and drive changeKirsty's message is clear: women's physiology isn't a limitation—it's a strength that should be studied, understood, and embraced.“If we only ever research men, we'll only ever understand men. It's time to stop playing catch-up and start leading.”Thank you to Sport England who support The Game Changers Podcast with a National Lottery award.Find out more about The Game Changers podcast here: https://www.fearlesswomen.co.uk/thegamechangersHosted by Sue AnstissProduced by Sam Walker, What Goes On MediaA Fearless Women production
