As a semi-professional player, John Allpress says he wasn't very good because, rather than having a "footballer's mentality", he has a "game-based mentality".It was this mentality that led to him becoming a physical education teacher - initially shocked that people were "paying him money to play games" - before coaching at top-level English academies, such as Ipswich Town and Tottenham Hotspur, and two spells with the Football Association.During his second stint at the FA, John's focus was on developing an understanding of how children learn, in order to better coach education and, ultimately, the player's experience.Here, John shares with us his insights into how kids learn, and explains why leadership is far more important for coaches to possess than tactical or technical knowledge…

This week on Factual America, Matthew Sherwood is joined by Miles Coleman, writer and co-producer of Netflix docu-series, FIFA Uncovered.  When the Fédération Internationale de Football Association – more popularly known as FIFA – was founded in 1904, its remit was simple: to oversee a competition between various footballing nations.  Today, however, it is a multi-billion dollar organisation that operates almost as a nation state. FIFA Uncovered explores the governing body's rise and the fall of FIFA executives following allegations of corruption in 2015. How did it happen? As Miles tells Matthew, money is at the heart of the matter. It began over fifty years ago when sportswear firm Adidas wined and dined FIFA executives in order to become a major partner. Over the years, people and interests who wanted to win at all costs passed money to executives to make sure the ‘right' decisions were reached. For example, and allegedly, the grant of the 2022 World Cup to Qatar. Miles discusses the challenges of making a documentary about a subject people either know everything or nothing about, of interviewing people in the age of Covid, and his determination to let the FIFA executives interviewed in the docu-series tell their own story. He looks at the hot topic of sports washing, how FIFA preferred dealing with repressive regimes to democracies, and what benefit a country like Qatar gets from holding the World Cup: it begins with good PR but goes far beyond it. Is FIFA Uncovered a docu-series simply for football fans? No. It begins with football, but ultimately becomes ‘a story about human nature' as well as the success and humbling of an empire. Join Matthew and Miles as they explore a topic both epic and personal. Watch the episode at https://factualamerica.com “... this is a story about human nature. And it's a story about politics. It's about what happens when you let an organization with immense money in the bank, and immense power, and very greedy individuals running it. What happens when you let that organization run amok.” – Miles Coleman What is Covered: 00:00 – Matthew Sherwood introduces Miles Coleman, writer and director of FIFA Uncovered 02:29 – Miles Coleman introduces FIFA Uncovered 05:19 – How the World Cup came to be held in Qatar 08:45 – How Adidas became a partner of FIFA 12:14 – The unknown nature of FIFA's story 16:13 – Explaining ‘sports washing' 22:36 – Discussing whether FIFA is a fundamentally corrupt organisation 25:33 – How Miles persuaded his interviewees to appear in the docu-series 28:29 – Sepp Blatter's belief in his innocence 30:33 – The importance of the top people at FIFA 32:18 – FIFA Uncovered as a political documentary 33:56 – How the FIFA Uncovered project came about 35:18 – Book recommendations and FIFA Uncovered as a ‘primer' on the scandal 37:39 – The philosophy of FIFA Uncovered 39:45 – Miles' respect for those who tell their stories in the docu-series 41:03 – Miles on what makes a good documentary 42:27 – How documentaries get made 45:02 – Who could play Chuck Blazer in a film 45:32 – Miles on his (lack of a) Wikipedia profile 45:57 – What Miles is up to now 46:57 – Miles and Matthew's predictions for the 2022 World Cup winner 48:48 – Miles on Lionel Messi 50:19 – Matthew Sherwood closes the episode Resources: FIFA Uncovered The MovieMaker Podcast Innersound Audio Alamo Pictures Connect with Miles Coleman IMDb Twitter Connect with Matthew Sherwood: Facebook LinkedIn Twitter  Connect with Factual America: Facebook Instagram Twitter More from Factual America:  Neymar: The Perfect Chaos – The Director's Perspective Who is Stan Smith? 38 At The Garden

This month Alex and Kaleigh, as two football/soccer enthusiasts, are exploring some of the many ways that the 2022 World Cup in Qatar and the Federation Internationale de Football Association are probably about politics, and they've brought on Corey Ganong, fellow soccer enthusiast and former sports podcast host to help break it down. Together they discuss the important role of international tournaments for nation-building, the increasing cost of running a world cup, and the value of sports washing for authoritarian regimes.

For the England team to wear the OneLove armband was the most basic act of solidarity possible - given the minor detail of the World Cup being held by a tinpot dictatorship which oppressed LGBTQ+ among others. But when FIFA banned them from even that, the Football Association immediately crumbled, showing how pathetically weak their solidarity really is. There's massive lessons here - and here they are.Support this show http://supporter.acast.com/the-owen-jones-podcast. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Think Noel Mooney and you think Wales and the first appearance at the FIFA World cup in decades.Noels journey has taken him from been born a stones throw from Arsenal previous ground Highbury, moving to Wales for a short period of time and then settling in Limerick in Republic of Ireland.During a time when football was not a mainstream sport in Ireland, Noel took matters into his own hands and set up a football club, which is still going today.Time spent between the sticks for Limerick FC, Cork City and Shamrock Rovers brought glory in the form of a FAI winners medal.After hanging up his boots Noel stayed within football and took up the role of “National Co-ordinator of the Club Promotions Officer Programme” with the Football Association of Ireland.  People and organisations began to recognise his ability and after climbing the ladder within the FAI, UEFA came calling where he climbed to Head of strategy working with all 55 countries.When the opportunity came to become CEO of the FAW, it was an opportunity he could not turn down.  Deficits turned into surpluses on the spreadsheet under his guidance and a World Cup appearance was achieved.  Offical website

We don't seem to be doing & saying much about how people need to look after themselves in these challenging times.2. We're not talking about that ability to communicate, we're not taught nearly enough how to listen to each other. And unfortunately, when we've learned it, we have ingrained behaviours, which we have to undo in order to be able to learn it properly.Valuable Free Resource or ActionA mental health resource : https://www.mikelawrence.co.uk/rediscover-your-confidence-the-antidote-to-good-mental-health/A video version of this podcast is available on YouTube : _________________________________________________________________________________________________Subscribe to our newsletter and get details of when we are doing these interviews live at https://TCA.fyi/newsletterFind out more about being a guest at : link.thecompleteapproach.co.uk/beaguestSubscribe to the podcast at https://link.thecompleteapproach.co.uk/podcastHelp us get this podcast in front of as many people as possible.

I am delighted and I have I have got my coffee here with me today. So it's here ready to go. I'm delighted today to be joined by Mike Lorenz Mike is a really interesting, transformational coach. He started his his career in leisure and hospitality and I'm sure he might get into that, where he was a Butlins Butler. It's red coat, helping holidaymakers through positive engagement and mindfulness. He's now a mentoring and coach for a number of large organisations, he reduces absenteeism. He improves employee morale, and he approves company internal culture. And Mike is in great demand in the corporate world. And he has got some clients who have described him as truly transformational. So I think we're gonna have a really fascinating discussion today. Welcome to the podcast, Mike.Mike Lawrence  01:30Yeah, could skim the day's view, it's great to be here last has been a whileStuart Webb  01:36it has been a take, it's taken us a while to get this set up. And thanks for taking the time to do this. Because I'm really looking forward to the conversation. Mike, can you just start by giving us a sort of an insight into the sort of person that you help the sort of the sort of internal and external behaviours, etc, that you might be seeing in your clients that they're that they wish to change and, and bring about a better well being attitude?Mike Lawrence  02:00Yes, I'd be happy to do so Stuart. Obviously, it's changed because I think prior to sort of COVID, and the lockdown, a lot of the clients, the people that we're seeing on a private basis in my clinic in Sheffield, tended to be women, the thought is like business owners, because you tend to find that the women only speak and how they wellbeing regime. And so they're more looking after their actual well being their mental health, that has changed somewhat. And now this is sort of balanced out. And in a lot of men, which is which is good, we're now starting to come forward and have that conversation talk about the challenges or problems that they face with their sort of well being. And so prior to Tina to COVID, lockdown, it was, you know, the general sort of strange depression sorts of anxiety. Also burnout I sustained on the increase, whereas now it seems to be around financial well being that lack of certainty about the future with the rising cost of living, and so it will try them out. Or we can navigate through these sorts of challenges. Because, you know, in the media and the government's we're talking about a lot of the problems which are going on. And yes, occasionally we have a mental health awareness, but really, we don't seem to be doing saying much about how people need to look after themselves in these challenging times.Stuart Webb  03:33So what are the behaviours, the things that you've seen people with those thoughts try to do to help themselves before you get involved with your, with your, your, your services,Mike Lawrence  03:49the, you know, you've got the negative behaviours, and the positive behaviours and negative behaviours, and some people might think that positive is the coping strategies. So hybrid work and brought in people eating more from element and generally speaking, eating in eating into access as a way of trying to cope because working from home the hybrid working in too far away from your kitchen, and so is this readily available, people are drinking more as well at home because again, it was it was readily available, also working more one way of filling that gap in terms of the challenge of problems that we're facing and felt as though that we needed to, you know, to sort of, you know, work or to fill in those gaps. And so, if I'm in that, working with people who are suffering with burnout or lots of in lots of situations, they're not looking after themselves and and typically the thought of things which I'm here and a lot of the time the things such as, you know, I'm feeling overworked and stressed a lot If I'm feeling depressed, I can't get to see my doctor. Or if, if I do get through to see a doctor, I just feel as though that them not listening, because I've just got a short. I'm just got a short when you call it time with the doctor. And in most of the cases, the prescribing medication, which obviously the right thing to do, but what they're wanting to see is to see somebody that was going to help them with CBT, or counselling, depending on where you live. And in the end, where you are in the control did turn depend upon what term level of support that you might get.Stuart Webb  05:41So, Mike, you've described some really interesting things there. Those are all things which, which I guess, you you provide, D provide them on site in your clinic, do you go to workplaces? How do you how do you offer that services?Mike Lawrence  05:56Yeah, well, was to follow benek in Sheffield, also, people see me remotely as long, which is one of the advantages and benefits, I suppose as the remote working. And so I'm able to offer a range of support services to people throughout the UK, and also our clients, you know, throughout the world as well. And then also get involved with organisations who provide Employee Assistance programmes and, and some people who might be fortunate if you're working for a large organisation, you might be able to get support through EAP, what I find is that lots of people who have got these schemes in the workplace which are free, they're not using them. So if anybody is watching this programme you have got in you're in a company that provides an EAP is really important that you do, you know, do so that said, I go into companies and tend to be smaller organisations, and where they haven't gotten an employee assistance programme. And now we'll come in there. And I will deliver talks and one to ones with members of staff, who may not feel confident speaking to some of their mental health problems to the to somebody within HR. And in some cases, you've got people have been trained as Mental Health First Aiders and a mental Mental Health First Aid instructor. And so I deliver that training on site and also in the workplace. But time and time again, you find that people are Mental Health First Aid trains, again, people within those organisations, there might be some stigma associated to going into the Mental Health First Aid or to talk about, you know, there's some of the problems that they actually face. So I offer a range of workshops, and they range from menopause, which has been on the increase, which had been asked for quite a lot. Mental Health Awareness, stress, depression, anxiety, nutrition and financial well being. Because now that organisations recognise that there have got a duty of care. And as part of that corporate social responsibility, they are doing more and need to be seen to do more for the employers.Stuart Webb  08:10Great. Yeah, thank you, Mike. Mike, I understand you've got a pretty valuable free resource that people even if they're not part of a large organisation, or a small business, even if they work on their own, that they can take in order to be able to do something. And I've just put the link to that scrolling along the bottom the screen now that that your website and the link is rediscover your confidence, the antidote to good mental health? Do you just want to describe to us what that that resource brings to the table?Mike Lawrence  08:41Yes, I can. It's a resource which is available to, you know, to everybody. It's a training programme, which I created and developed online about a year ago. And this is after some research that I did with clients. And also, what some, you know, as you know, a magic one question on LinkedIn, midway through through the pandemic, when I asked, you know, if I could offer you something, if I help you with something in particular, which would move you forward in terms in mental health and well being, what would it be. And so based upon the feedback from existing clients, previous clients, and also friends and family in the poll around on LinkedIn, I created this support programme for people around the UK and also around the world, who are able to step onto this series of webinars and workshops, which are deliver via video and also on a one to one workshop basis, where we'll be tackling and dealing with some of their challenges which they might have faced a long time ago, in terms of their health and well being because a lot of times, the things in which we faced our the problems that we have Sometimes it might be through the loss of somebody, or it could be something that we saw. No, in our in our early years in our childhood. And subconsciously, we've repressed those memories and thoughts. And this then impacts us in later life. I help people who come on to the course to identify or them to identify some of the root causes of their problems, and give them sorts of coping strategies help and support. So they're able to hopefully glean a better quality of life.Stuart Webb  10:36Great, great, great use of LinkedIn. Get that get that feedback on what people actually need from from you? What a great use. Mike, I guess there must be a number of books or courses or programmes that you've taken part in yourself, which have really inspired you that you have you seen as a way to build up your own education is, is there something like that, that you'd like to share with the audience today, in order to give them a flavour of things that you've been learning or things that you've, you've discovered that you'd like to sort of bring into the bring to the audience?Mike Lawrence  11:09Yes, there's, there's a couple that come to mind. And it's always books, I'm always reading books, always learning. A lot of the there's a book sorcerer series by a gentleman called David and Eagleman is also been featured on BBC, you can see he's got some on YouTube, there's some videos that he's gotten also lots of, I think, some BBC iPlayer, as well. And he talks about the brain, and goes very deep into the brain and gets thinking about, you know, what's in there, and how and how it works, the mechanics of it all. And there's lots of aha moments, staying with the brain. Many people may have heard of Darren Brown. And there's some great two podcasts that I've listened to recently one's called boot camp up the mind, which is excellence, and boot camp of your life, which is really good as well. And again, he delves into the brain talks about some of the blind spots that we have, and, and how we think and how certain things that can influence our sorts of beliefs as well. And the final one I'll share with you is one called Lost. What's it called? Is it lost focus? I think it might have things called loss, I think it might be lost, lost focus. And it's written by a gentleman call yo Hannes, Johann Hari, h a r i. And this is for me, it's dynamite. Because when you read this, when you read this book, or I listen, or I did, I listened to it on an audible when I'm going walking. I guess you're thinking about how we use our time and where that time got bears word, where does time go? Because we say all the time. You know, if you love what you do, and I love what I enjoy doing throughout the day, and your end of the day, it's like, wow, you know, where's that time gone. But we can use that time more effectively. And when you break it down, and the amount of time is actually lost? Or as he would say, taken away? Then you calculate that time says, Well, what would I have done with that time? If I control it, you know, a lot better. And typically, you know, everyone's got a mobile phone. And the amount of times and there's lots of studies and research and he talks about this, well, the amount of time and switch is lost on looking at those notifications that keep coming up on a day to day basis. And also emails and you know, you are still at you're nodding your heads, and, and emails, and we're doing this podcast called like, remotely, and I've got notifications switched up, I've got emails, you know, I've got everything's switched off. In actual fact, I've had them switched off for about four years. And the amount of time the amount of control that I have now it is just, it's incredible. And you know, a lot of times when people ask me, you know, I'm being interviewed, and you might ask me, anyone in the future and says, you know, what tip would you give people, you know, in terms of the well being, turn the notifications offStuart Webb  14:28of that mic? And yes, you're right. I'm nodding because I too am a I do not have notifications on my phone, I guess. And you know, there are reasons for it. And, you know, we're going into what you said about Johann Hari, and I believe he was the guy that invented this thing called the Johari Window, which I've heard a lot about, which is, you don't know things about yourself. You've got to look at yourself in a different way in order to see it. But I'm very aware of the fact that notifications are one of those things which activates some very deep, old thinking in our brain I want to call them lizard brain, which is, you know, the crack of a stick in the in the woods used to be assigned for us to sort of get ready to run away nowadays, it's a being on a phone and activates all that same that same system in our body so that our our adrenaline is hyped up and we sort of get, get ready to either run away or fight. And what you don't need when you sitting watching the television and trying to relax on the day and decompress is things from your phone or when you're focused at work, you don't want to bring from your phone or thing popping up in the corner of your screen. So I'm like you, I now have a system where I, I, I have my email set as a calendar invite for myself, and I go and view my emails three times a day. And that's the only time I read email because otherwise, I'm focused on work. And when I want to actually sort of go on to social media, I use a technique you've probably heard of it called the Pomodoro Technique, my work for focus time, and then I give myself permission for a five minute break. And if I want to check Twitter, that's the time I check it. Or if I want to check LinkedIn, that's the time I check it. And I really don't do anything other than that. So I don't have notifications like you. And it has freed up hours of my week, it really has.Mike Lawrence  16:15It works a treat, because you probably well aware that in those those studies, that it highlights that when you if you've got the emails aren't if you're working away, and because you know, we talked about multitasking, and we all say that we are great multitaskers. And it breaks that myth by saying no, the brain doesn't work that way, you can only do one thing at a time. And those people who think they're great multitaskers, they take longer to do those particular tasks. And also, when you've got the if you're writing a document or a report, and that email pings up and it breaks your conscious because it activates that part and your brain was like, Ah, screw it, I need to go to that. So you start to write to that, then you then takes about 20 minutes, then to go back to that document to that that part of your mind, who was accessing to get all those nuggets information for you and your flow. You know, write that piece of work, it takes you 20 minutes to get back to that place again. Just JustStuart Webb  17:18brilliant love it might love it. We could talk about those techniques for about another two and a half hours, but I won't. Because you need to get on to something else, and you need to focus on your work. So let's just get to the final question. Mike, there is probably a question that you're thinking at the moment I wish he had asked me whatever that question is. So Mike, would you please tell us what is the question you would like me to ask you? And then once you've asked the question effectively answer it for us so that you don't leave us hanging with the with it with an interesting question. But no, no real fulfilment of the answerMike Lawrence  17:53is probably you probably mentioned it in the intro about being a red carpet.Stuart Webb  18:00You tell us what did you learn being somebody who helped holidaymakers through their what they hope would be a stress free time? How did you help them?Mike Lawrence  18:13I think it was to, they helped, I helped them in enjoy and have a good time, and have fun. And when you look all those years ago, at a very young age, the ability to be able to work and enjoy what you do and have fun and also and also impact positively and in people's lives in their own sort of health and well being and that was from the young generation all the way through, you know, to the you know, to the older generation, so all those generations and, and it helped me with my my confidence because prior to going there, I was probably an introvert and WhatsApp in an old steel town of Sheffield's and going to college and what have you around that when and just going and being flung into this space of over 5000 people who and who were there and spent a lot of money in those days and they're with their family expecting to entertain and expecting to be taken care of, you know, by these people, you know, these girls and boys in these red coats, and so something that it's live up so and, and the wonderful thing about it is that initially when I came out of working there I worked into I went into working in London in the legend creation industry when for whatever reason, I don't know what I wanted to be a manager in charge of people. And I found it very difficult in the first few years to adapt. Because I'd gone from somewhere where I was enjoying myself, I was having fun. And lots of people were, it was all positive engagement. There was no talk of mental health or wellbeing back then, because everyone was just having a good time, then we're going into the civil service, in local authority in London, it was totally different. And it took me a few years to actually adopt. And also, Stuart's, as I, as I tried to move through my career in management at it, I actually had to take off the fact that as a red coat on my, on my CV, it was fine in that was getting overlooked. And people felt as though that I wasn't saying management, managerial material, and that I didn't take the role seriously. And so I actually took that part out of it and just said that I worked in the leisure industry on the south coast, and left it at that wasn't until many years later that I set up my own consultancy company. And I was being interviewed on radio Sheffield, by a by a link be interviewed on radio Sheffield. And like yourself, he asked me the question, but he asked it in a different way. He actually said to me, what transferable skills did you did you learn as a red coat that you use in your business today. And that was like, ah, and there's lots because yes, I've got a lot you know, qualifications and Mental Health First Aid instructor and gone on lots of courses since then managerial courses and things around and complementary alternative therapies. But those skills that I learned back, then, you're able to communicate to people to talk to people understand people have conversations with people, you know, not on text or email, but communicate, and listen, because that and then to interact with people, and understand how they talk and how they feel and pick up on those things, you don't realise that you what you learn there, which then takes took me all the way through there. And, and it's one of the key attributes that I possess, when I'm working, you know, with, you know, with people now, it is one of the key things, because I was just gonna go on to say And finish in the, in my, you know, in some of the studies that I've done recently, I was surprised in one way that, you know, when we go to school, in the teachers house, it's taught how to read and write. But the amount of time in which actually is is put aside and how to listen, is very little.Stuart Webb  23:05Mike, that's a really interesting thing, too, that I started I interrupted you. I mean, it's interesting that you had to take away an element of your first part of your learning in your career, I similarly had to remove my, my, my, my scientific background, when I first started out as a manager, because people would often ask what somebody like you wanting to do a job like this. So you just take it away, don't you but, but I think that final point about learning to listen was probably the most the most interesting one that I think you you've hit upon, if we could just learn to listen to at a young age, you know, you're right. At school, we are not taught what we need when we get out into the real world, or we were not taught about that teamwork. We're not talking about that ability to communicate, we were largely sort of sat in silence listening to somebody who who feeds facts, we're not taught nearly enough how to listen to each other and, and something we learn far too late in life. And unfortunately, when we've learned it, we have ingrained behaviours, which we have to undo in order to be able to learn it properly.Mike Lawrence  24:13Absolutely, because the you know, we've all got our friend we want to be, you know, the social media is all about, look at me Look at me, like like like, and, and, and in reality, if some, in a lot of cases projects, a false image of actually who we are. But being a but in terms of a mental health and well being. Because, you know, a lot of the times when I meet people or see people, and you might say the same as well, and the first thing that we're saving, you know, English and British, we talk you know as to how are you? I'm fine and well, I'm okay. But oh We biggest a lot of times we we not? And we hope that, you know, we hope that people will respond, I'm fine. I'm okay. And well, you know, am I right? Because we were to say, actually, I'm feeling not very well. That's not what you wanted to hear.Stuart Webb  25:23We must stop, we could talk for hours, I will just say that I think there is some hope. My son who is 21 has a friend who has been to through some difficult medical problems just recently. And when he first reached out this, this young lad to my son, about a year or so ago, I said, Look, I've got a medical problem that I just I just haven't talked to many people. He's now got through that there's been surgery and things which which have helped him to get through this. He's not out of the woods, but he's, he's better. He sent a text to my son last night. And the text basically said, mate, thanks for being there. And just listening when I needed somebody to talk to. And I was just blown away that to 21 year old people, to 21 year old young men were able to actually do that gave hope for the fact that there is going to be a better view upon mental health in the future, because he really did reach out. My son was prepared to stand by and listened and helped him through and just, you know, went through it with him, you know, no matter how difficult it will seem. They just exchanged a series of sort of little text messages saying thank you. There's hope. Yeah, really, there is.Mike Lawrence  26:40And there is and we can't give up. And that's the you know, a great message. That there's always hope and we need to continue to believe that there is hope. And continue to strive to get that support from like minded people are going to listen and and be MBA and hold us accountable on on that journey, wherever we are.Stuart Webb  27:04Mike, let's, let's end on that. That's a brilliant, a brilliant endpoint.

As Grandson of George V, George Lascelles was a first cousin to Queen Elizabeth II and with his distinguished beard and Nero style jackets, he was the very image of aristocracy, moving in the highest of royal circles, yet it was in the Royal Circles of Britain's opera houses that he felt most at home. It was at English National Opera North (now Opera North) that Lesley Garrett first met George. With their shared love of all things musical, and both proudly from Yorkshire, they developed a friendship that was to last a lifetime. Having survived capture during the Second World War (deepening his knowledge of opera whilst interned as a prisoner of war), he dedicated much of his time to making opera accessible to all. He strove to deliver the best of opera for everyone, with a genuine passion and commitment that inspired all those he worked with. During his career he served as Director of The Royal Opera House, Chairman of the Board of The English National Opera, Managing Director of the ENO, Managing Director of English National Opera North (now Opera North) and outside of opera he served as a Governor of the BBC and President of the British Board of Film Classification. His other great passion was football. He served as President of Leeds United Football Club from 1961 until his death and was President of the Football Association from 1963 to 1972. As Lesley recalls, he believed that both music and sport were 'levelling', that in these worlds there were no kings or paupers. Throughout his life he supported both of these passions, opening doors for everyone, instilling values of accessibility that live on till this day. He died on 11th July 2011 aged 88. Lesley is joined by Professor Alexandra Wilson, a musicologist, author and cultural historian, specialising in Italian opera and British operatic culture from the 1920's to the present day.

The success of England's footballing Lionesses at the recent UEFA women's championship has massively increased the popularity of the women's game. Now, the Football Association has included blind women in their disability talent strategy. The 2023 IBSA world games provide an early opportunity for a team of blind women players to follow in the footsteps of their sighted counterparts by lifting a major trophy. We speak to three England hopefuls about their journey in the blind beautiful game. There is a perception among many people that having a visual impairment automatically means a love of music, but, as with so many other activities, sight loss can mean barriers to becoming a musician. Undeterred by this, and already having learned to play violin and viola, sixteen year old Toben Durrant is now a member of the Welsh National Youth Opera. We talk to him about his experience as a young blind musician. We also speak to acclaimed Soprano, Victoria Oruwari about support for young blind people wanting to become musicians.

每日英語跟讀 Ep.K421: Women's soccer energizes England in a league of their own   England beat Germany 2-1 in the final of the European Championship after extra time on Sunday last week to win its first major women's soccer title. The final, which was played before a sellout crowd of more than 87,000 at historic Wembley Stadium, is seen as a watershed moment for women's sports in England. Although the game, known here as football, is a national passion, female players have often been scoffed at and were once banned from top-level facilities. Now the women's team did something the men haven't done since 1966: Win a major international tournament. 上週日舉行的歐洲錦標賽決賽中，英格蘭隊在加時賽以二比一擊敗了德國隊，贏得其史上首座女足大賽冠軍。這場決賽被視為英格蘭女子運動的分水嶺，在歷史悠久的溫布利球場舉行，門票銷售一空，觀眾超過八萬七千人。儘管足球這項運動在英國被視為國球，但女性足球員常受到嘲弄，甚至曾被禁止進入頂級球場。現在，女子隊做到了自一九六六年以來男性從未做到的事：在國際大賽中奪冠。 Hope Powell played 66 times for England and coached the team from 1998 to 2013. “I think we have to give thanks to the people that worked really hard before us, that went through all of that, being banned, fighting for the right to play,” Powell told the BBC. “I think we have to remember what came before is what got us to the point we are today.” 霍普‧鮑威爾為英格蘭隊出賽過六十六次，並於一九九八至二○一三年擔任該隊教練，她對BBC﹝英國廣播公司﹞說道：「我認為我們必須感謝那些在過去付出許多努力的人，他們經歷了被禁賽、為比賽權利而奮鬥等種種磨難」。「我想我們必須記住，過去所經歷的，也就是讓我們能夠達到今天這成就的來時路」。 But it's not just the victories that are attracting fans. It is how the team is winning. With money from sponsorship deals and a new TV contract supporting full-time professional players, there is more flash and polish than many expected. While they don't play like the men's team, that's not a bad thing. There are fewer players flopping to the ground to draw fouls, less rolling around on the turf dramatically clutching purportedly injured knees or ankles and little shouting at the referees. Instead there is teamwork, artful passes and stunning goals like Stanway's 20m screamer in the quarterfinal victory over Spain and the backheel from Alessia Russo in England's 4-0 semifinal win against Sweden. And here's the thing: People like it. 但吸引球迷的不僅僅是勝利，而是球隊獲勝的方式。有了贊助商金援和資助全職職業球員的新電視合約，賽事的盛況超乎預期。雖然她們的球風跟男子隊不同，但這並不是件壞事。倒地製造犯規的球員比較少，也比較少人在草地上翻滾、戲劇性地緊抓膝蓋或腳踝說受了傷，也很少有對裁判大聲吼叫的情況。取而代之的是團隊合作、巧妙的傳球和令人驚嘆的進球，例如史妲維在半準決賽勝西班牙的二十公尺（二十二碼）精采進球，以及英格蘭4-0勝瑞典的準決賽中，阿萊西亞‧魯索的腳跟射門進球。而且重點是，大家愛看。 Coach Sarina Wiegman has made a point of noting that there's more at stake than victory alone. “We want to inspire the nation.” Women's football has a long and sometimes controversial history in England. The women's game flourished during and for a few years after World War I, when teams like Dick, Kerr Ladies Football Club filled the sporting gap created as top men's players went off to the trenches to fight. Women's teams, many organized at munitions plants, attracted large crowds and raised money for charity. One match in 1920 attracted 53,000 spectators. 教練莎琳娜‧魏格曼特別指出，此戰不光是為了勝利，「我們想激勵這個國家」。 女子足球在英格蘭的歷史悠久且有時頗具爭議。女子足球在第一次世界大戰期間及之後的數年中蓬勃發展，當時像「迪克科爾女子足球俱樂部」這樣的球隊填補了因頂尖男子球員參戰而在體育界留下的空白。許多在軍火廠組成的女子隊吸引了大批觀眾，並為慈善事業募款。一九二○年的一場比賽吸引了五萬三千名觀眾。 But that popularity triggered a backlash from the men who ran the Football Association, the sport's governing body in England. In 1921, the FA banned women's teams from using its facilities, saying “the game of football is quite unsuitable for females and ought not to be encouraged.” The ban remained in place for the next 50 years. 但這種受歡迎程度卻招致英格蘭足球管理機構足球總會男性主管的強烈反對。一九二一年，英足總禁止女子球隊使用其設施，稱「足球運動非常不適合女性，不應鼓勵」。該禁令在之後的五十年一直存在。 Women organized their own football association in 1969, and soon after the FA ended its ban on women. The FA took over responsibility for the women's game in 1993, beginning the slow process of improving funding and facilities. 一九六九年，女性組織了自己的足球協會，不久後英足總取消了對女性的禁令。英足總於一九九三年接管了女子比賽，開始了改善資金與設施的緩慢過程 。 Things accelerated after the 2012 London Olympics, when authorities began to recognize there was a global audience for the women's game, said Gail Newsham, author of In a League of Their Own! that tells the story of Dick, Kerr Ladies. 二○一二年倫敦奧運之後，當局開始了解女子比賽的觀眾遍及全球，因而事情加速發展，《在她們自己的聯賽！》一書作者蓋爾‧紐沙姆說道。該書講述迪克科爾女子足球俱樂部的故事。 Last year, the FA signed a three-year deal for broadcast rights to the Women's Super League, increasing funding and exposure for the game. Sky Sports will broadcast a minimum of 35 games a year on its pay TV channels, and the BBC will carry another 22 on its free-to-view network. 去年，英足總簽署了一項為期三年的女子超級聯賽轉播權協議，增加了比賽的資金和曝光率。天空體育台每年將在其付費電視頻道上轉播至少三十五場比賽，而BBC將在其免費收看的電視網另轉播二十二場比賽。 “It's not that long ago that girls, you know, top players, were paying for their own travel to get to matches and then having to get up to go to work the next day. So all of this is helping,” Newsham said of the funding. “You can see the difference now in the professionalism of the girls playing football.” 「不久之前，女性頂尖球員還需要自付旅費去參加比賽，然後第二天必須起床去上班。所以這些都是有所助益的」，紐沙姆談到這些資金時說道。「現在這些女性足球員的專業水準不可同日而語，大家有目共睹」。Source article: https://www.taipeitimes.com/News/lang/archives/2022/08/09/2003783186

Matchdays are a key part of the coaching week and can be exhilarating, daunting and stressful all at once. For the players, those emotions are amplified.It is the coach's role to make the matchday experience as safe and enjoyable as possible for all. But how do we go about doing that?We asked Sarah Lowden, a Uefa A coach and a regional coach development officer at the Football Association, for her take. Sarah - who has previously coached at the Reading and Burton Albion academies and Sunderland girls' regional talent centre - shares some of the key things coaches need to consider…

In this Janette's TV and Janette's TV Podcast episode, Janette sits down with Maggie Murphy who was General Manager of the Lewes FC Women's Team from 2019-2021, then elected to CEO of Lewes FC in 2021. Lewes Football Club was founded back in 1885 and is located in Lewes, East Sussex, England where Maggie joins us from. In 2017, they launched the ground-breaking Equality FC campaign that saw Lewes FC become the first (and currently only) club in the world to have equal playing budgets for women and men. Maggie sheds light on the history of Women & Football (Soccer) and how The FA Cup began in 1871. Women started playing in 1891. The Football Association banned women's football in 1921 when the first Women's FA Cup was played and didn't reinstate it until 1971 (because they considered women's football to be ‘unsuitable for a woman's frame', and ‘quite inappropriate for most women'). The 50-year ban allowed men's teams to grow to the popularity they are now, while women were stunted from reaching the same level.

The Football Association is set to trial the removal of heading from u12 football and below. The move comes as scientists have found a link between playing football and having dementia later in life. Dawn Astle, Co-founder of the Jeff Astle Foundation spoke to Newstalk Breakfast this morning to discuss this decision further.

It's being called medicine's Me Too moment. Two female doctors have launched an online campaign gathering testimony about sexual harassment and a culture of sexism in the world of health care. Dr Becky Cox and Dr Chelcie Jewitt join Krupa to explain why they launched Surviving in Scrubs. Last week we looked at radical solutions to the ageing population and slowing birth rate, including a tax on the childfree. One country which has taken a unique approach is Hungary which introduced tax breaks and loans to encourage women to have more children in 2019. The BBC's Nick Thorpe joins Krupa to discuss how successful the policy has been. Back in 1972, the very first England Women's Football Team beat Scotland in their first international victory, but unlike the men's team the Lionesses were not awarded official caps. Pressure has been mounting for the Football Association to recognise the 1972 team with caps. The reserve goalkeeper, Sue Wyhatt, joins us as the FA announce they will award the caps. The male contraceptive pill has been talked about for decades but so far has never got past the research stages. There is a current clinical trial though that is already yielding good results – however it's not a pill, it's a gel. It's also had positive feedback from the couples who tried it. Krupa is joined by Dr Diana Blithe, who leads the Contraceptive Development Program at the Eunice Kennedy Shriver National Institute of Child Health and Human Development in the US. The UK premiere of Little Women opens at Opera Holland Park later this week. The award winning director Ella Marchment joins Krupa Padhy, along with Charlotte Padham who makes her professional debut as Jo. Presenter: Krupa Padhy Producer: Emma Pearce

Dr Adam White, senior lecturer in sport and coaching sciences at Oxford Brookes University, talks about the dangers of heading, after the Football Association announced trial of heading ban for under-12s in England.

René Wormhoudt is the High-Performance Coach (Strength & Stamina) of the Dutch Men's National Soccer team and CEO / Co-founder of the Athletic Skills Model Company (ASM). ASM is built around the philosophy that all athletes benefit from multidisciplinary training, providing educational programs for coaches and instructors, developing training materials, and designing formats for fields and courts that allow for multidisciplinary practices and training. Inspired by the work of Professor Geert Savelsberg two decades ago, René started to challenge the belief of coaches that early specialization was beneficial to youth players, outlining its detrimental effect on the overall development of motoric skills of athletes. With the support of the legendary soccer player/coach Johan Cruyff, he reformed the renowned soccer academy of FC Ajax Amsterdam, and partnered with Professor Savelsbergh to develop new initiatives that transformed Dutch thinking on sports education and coaching. René is co-author of four books including The Athletic Skills Model: Optimizing Talent Development Through Movement Education.

Angélique Kidjo is a 5 time Grammy Award winner from Benin who has been called "Africa's premier diva". Later this month she will be headlining the WOMAD world music and dance festival. She'll be talking on Woman's Hour about why she sings in five different languages and how music can be a greater force for change than politics. A recent article in the Sunday Times asked whether we should tax the childfree. It got a lot of attention and Sarah Harper, Professor of Gerontology at Oxford University joins Emma to discuss, as does Daisy Buchanan, an author and podcast host who has chosen to be child free. The first international England Women's football match was in November 1972, England vs Scotland. Neither team were awarded with ‘caps' which are awarded to players whenever they represent their country in an international match. Nicola Sturgeon awarded the 1972 Scottish Women's team with their long awaited caps before the Women's World Cup final last year. The 1972 England Women's team are still waiting to receive theirs. 50 years on from that first match, we speak to Woman's Hour listener and a 1972 goalkeeper for the England Women's football team, Sue Whyatt and the honorary secretary of the Women's Football Association, Patricia Gregory who co-organised the first international women's England v Scotland match in November 1972.

Si la médiatisation du sport féminin progresse, il ne représentait que 20 % des diffusions sportives sur les écrans français en 2021. Certains évènements comme l'Euro féminin de football, qui débute ce 6 juillet 2022, sont davantage suivis. Pour changer les représentations du grand public et ancrer la pratique du sport chez les filles, il faudrait investir dans une médiatisation du sport plus récurrente, mais aussi améliorer la place des femmes dans les instances dirigeantes du sport et l'encadrement sportif. Les métiers du sport sont encore trop souvent réservés aux hommes. À titre d'exemple, en France, sur les 36 fédérations olympiques, seulement deux sont dirigées par une femme. Plus significatif encore, le nombre d'étudiantes en STAPS (sciences et techniques des activités physiques et sportives) est bien inférieur à celui des hommes puisqu'elles représentent moins de 30 % des effectifs. Une situation qui contribue au maintien des inégalités dans les métiers du sport. Comment améliorer la place des femmes dans le secteur du sport ? - Béatrice Barbusse, sociologue spécialisée dans le sport, maître de conférences à l'Université Paris Est Créteil, vice-présidente de la Fédération française de handball et auteure de Du sexisme dans le sport (Anamosa)  - Mejdlaine Mhiri, journaliste, rédactrice en cheffe du magazine Les Sportives, co-présidente de l'Association Femmes journalistes de sport - Aminatah Fofona, membre du Comité exécutif du Comité national olympique de Côte d'Ivoire. Ancienne secrétaire générale du Comité national olympique de Côte d'Ivoire. ► Un reportage de Raphaëlle Constant à Dakar, à la rencontre du Club AFA : Ass.

Gareth Bale takes Wales to the World Cup; as they beat Ukraine in the World Cup playoff. Gareth Frank Bale MBE is a Welsh professional footballer who plays as a winger for La Liga club Real Madrid and the Wales national team.

Looking at the 20 largest sports associations in Norway, 17 of them are best suited for summer or a temperate hall. That might be because many of the largest winter sports are united in the Ski Association, however, the Ski Association is only the third largest in Norway. Both the Football Association and the Handball Association are larger. The Football Association is the largest sports association in Norway with 375 000 members, which is over twice as large as the second largest one: the Handball Association with 139 000 members. Football in Norway is usually played on an artificial turf, as the climate most places is not suited for a grass field for most of the year. I myself have played football for over 13 years. Handball is the second largest sport and is also very popular in other European countries. We have a lot of sports halls, and when it's cold and dark outside, it's nice to go inside to a warm hall. Other large sports in Norway are gymnastics, track and field, swimming, cycling and various martial arts. Also, while Norway is mostly known for its achievements in winter sports, it also has some very good athletes in summer sports. Let's look at the medals Norway won during the last Summer Olympics in Tokyo 2021. Norway won four golds, two silver, and two bronze, making us the 20th best nation in the world. Pretty good, considering that Norway is a small and cold country. Andreas Mol and Christian Sørum won gold in sand volleyball, Kristian Blummenfelt won gold in triatlon, Jakob Ingebrigtsen won the 1500m race, and maybe the most laudable achivments of them all: Karsten Warholm's gold and world record in 400m hurdles. There are, as you can see, several really good athletes from Norway competing in summer sports as well.

Football's domestic leagues have wound up for this season, but we are here for you with some excellent chat from excellent women, as Dr Carrie Dunn joins Jen to chat about their respective new books. In 1921, women were banned from playing football in the grounds of affiliated Football Association clubs for 50 years. Of course women didn't just stop playing football, and Carrie's new book, Unsuitable for Females, is a deep dive into the history of women's football during the ban, and the people who kept the women's game alive. Our Jen's new book, The Year Of The Robin, charts the ill-fated 2019/20 season of her beloved Charlton Athletic. She recounts her personal experiences living through it with her brother, Michael, and looks at what a lower-league football club can tell us about society. Carrie and Jen also chat about being female football writers, tribalism, and where the women's game is at ahead of the Euros this summer.Support this show http://supporter.acast.com/standardissuespodcast.

Dr Alexander Jackson talks about his recent book Football's Great War, Association Football on the English Home Front. Alex talks about the so-called ‘anti-football debate' that took place in 1914/5 and how amateur and professional players, clubs and the Football Association responded to this debate. He also talks about how football clubs, local amateur leagues […]
