Russell Martin was appointed the new Rangers manager, however questions are being asked about him ALREADY. Sir Bradley Wiggins had his say on Sir Dave Brailsford whose departure from Manchester United was confirmed, and it is safe to say he's not a fan! Finally, Sarina Wiegman insisted there is 'no crisis' despite having 3 senior players retire or withdraw from the Lioness squad, ahead of their defence of the Women's Euro's. Hosted on Acast.

Sir Jim Ratcliffe's investment in Manchester United with INEOS has brought a welcome re-focusing on sporting achievement as opposed to commercial success. Project 150, encompassing Mission 21 and Mission 1, sets out a clear ambition to have the men's and women's teams winning their respective leagues by 2028, the club's 150th anniversary. Does this statement of intent, now public knowledge, help channel the attentions and efforts of the club's staff? And is there conflict with recent cost-cutting measures? Chief Executive Omar Berrada is undoubtedly one of the architects of this scheme and responsible for its execution but what about Sir Dave Brailsford, who has no clear job title at Manchester United, and Sir Jim himself? We attempt to get to the bottom of it all, and assess how likely the club are to achieve their objectives, with Ian, Andy, Laurie, and Athletic Senior Writer Oli Kay.

"Come on you little fighter & Get back up again!" Supertramp sang - and perhaps the rise of Manchester United is only around the corner! For INEOS and Sir Dave Brailsford, Carrington and Old Trafford is the next stop as the multi-sport organisation looks to enhance the performance of the teams at Man Utd. And while being famous for the 'Marginal Gains' mantra at British Cycling and TeamSky, Brailsford is now taking on a beast with huge global standing in Manchester United. But it's not the first football club to explore using other sports and practitioners to influence their organisations. From Sir Clive Woodward and Steve Redgrave to MSG group and Barcelona many organisations have pooled knowledge across sports. And as its winter in Northern Europe, the cold snap has returned and provides more challenges for clubs in simply trying to train  - and then there's the games too! Wind, rain, snow, ice and, believe it or not, even sun have caused games to be postponed or curtailed. So what's there to do... well small areas of pitch are decimated, stadium steps are conquered and professionalism rains down - until we all get too cold and go back inside!

Fran Millar built her reputation as a highly accomplished sports executive alongside Sir Dave Brailsford with Team Sky, rising through the executive peloton from Director of Business Operations to Head of Winning Behaviours and ultimately Chief Executive of the Ineos Grenadiers. In 2020 she traded cycling tours for catwalks, with her appointment as CEO of British fashion brand, Belstaff.Alongside Fran is her former pro-cyclist brother, David Millar; a rising star of the sport until he confessed to doping and was banned in 2004. David came back to cycling as a competitor but also as a committed and vocal campaigner for clean sport. He now splits his time between broadcasting duties and his cycling apparel company, CHPT3.Together in an interview for the first time, they talk candidly about living in the maelstrom of a doping scandal, how their sometimes conflicting approaches to clean cycling led to fractures in their relationship and about the crucial life lessons they learned from their shared experience.This four way conversation was recorded on 16th August 2022. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Today's guests are Mo Bobat, Performance Director of the England and Wales Cricket Board, and Omar Chauduri, Chief Intelligence Officer of Twenty First Group.The topic is high performance and its fundamental link to the commercial success of sport. Mo and Omar's teams worked extensively together on the ECB's new High Performance Review, chaired by former England captain Sir Andrew Strauss. This aims to improve the quality of both the domestic structure and the men's national side, aided by an advisory board including Sir Dave Brailsford and Dan Ashworth, former FA Performance Director. The review made 17 proposals, each seeking to focus attention on the difficult question of What It Takes To Win (WITTW). You can read the review HERE. But the performance conversation is often put into a silo, and treated separately from the commercial side of sport. As we'll hear in this episode, that's a mistake. This conversation, more than anything, is about the product of sport, what's the difference between a successful sport's tournament, event or team, and the rest. How does performance data help create entertaining teams and events? What's the commercial value of jeopardy?These are questions which drive everything; from fan engagement through to media rights income, sponsorship revenue and other forms of investment. The conversation took place at the Clerkenwell offices of Twenty First Group in London against the backdrop of England's progress at the ICC T20 World Cup taking place in Australia. You'll hear us reference a previous podcast with Ed Smith, recorded at Leaders London in October. That's available along with 276 other episodes in the Unofficial Partner back catalogue, accessible via the website, Apple, Spotify, Google or your usual podcast app.Unofficial Partner is the leading podcast for the business of sport.

Quote of the week"By the yard it is hard but inch by inch anything is a cinch." Les BrownIf you are feeling overwhelmed, peel away the layers and make a firm decision and commitment to make small changes, maybe in several areas of your lifestyle, that are realistic for you to rinse and repeat. Then don't stop. Do whatever you need to do to stay committed. If you continue to sabotage, then it's time to reflect upon your real goals, and determine if they are true to you, or to someone else!Highlights from London Business Forum's event with Sir Dave Brailsford.

My guest this week is an inspiring woman and a brilliant leader, Fran Millar.Fran was recently appointed CEO of the UK fashion brand, Belstaff. Prior to Belstaff, Fran was the former CEO of Team INEOS (formerly Team Sky), the world famous cycling team. Fran led the development of the team’s operational and governance systems alongside all of the business and engagement strategies. Fran has been with team INEOS from the very beginning and during this time she has played a key role in the successes and gained considerable experience in all areas of the team.She previously held a dual role as both Director of Business Operations and Head of Winning Behaviours at Team Sky. Returning to head up all the team’s ‘off bike’ functions in 2015, her responsibilities included overseeing the team’s marketing and communications strategy, stakeholder management, and all the commercial and legal aspects that come with running the world’s number one cycling team.Fran worked alongside the incomparable Sir Dave Brailsford for over a decade, as well as leading sports psychiatrist, professor Steve Peters.Prior to working at Team Sky, Fran set-up and ran her own successful athlete and event management agency for 7 years, initially representing her brother, David Millar and going on to represent some of the UK’s highest profile cyclists, including 2011 Sports Personality of the Year winner Mark Cavendish and  2018 Tour de France winner and 2018 Sports Personality of the Year winner, Geraint Thomas.During her career in cycling, Fran had to deal with some tough challenges including getting caught up in tan infamous doping scandal that involved her pro cyclist brother David. Fran’s story is a fascinating one, one that has twists and turns, one that would have left a lot of people behind but not Fran. Fran is tough, she’s tenacious, she’s inspiring. This topics:- Your Brother- Being a difficult woman”- This idea of labels- The move away from cycling- Winning behaviours- Key qualities to success - Relationships & Work - How to be successful like you  - Belstaff - Are you scared of dying? - What does the future hold for you Fran:twitter.com/franmillar?lang=en linkedin.com/in/fran-millar-a7894437Sponsor: uk.huel.com/My book pre-order: (UK, US, AUS, NZ Link) - http://hyperurl.co/xenkw2 (EU & Rest of the World Link) https://www.bookdepository.com/Happy-Sexy-Millionaire-Steven-Bartlett/9781529301496?ref=grid-view&qid=1610300058833&sr=1-2 959079

Sir Dave Brailsford and Team INEOS may be handling sports coronavirus-enforced shutdown better than most sports organisations. "As a team, we don't have a facility base," the INEOS Team Principal begins in explanation. "We go to a race, we work together, and then we have to work very much geographically dispersed; a lot of the time it's conference calls, Zoom calls - the way that everyone is working at the minute is familiar to us... we're not racing, but it feels like a ramped-up business-as-usual to us." Nevertheless, Brailsford provided some typically thought-provoking insights during his appearance on At Home With Leaders, where he spoke to co-hosts Matthew Stone, Leaders’ Senior Product Manager, and sports psychologist and consultant Michael Caulfield, whose clients include Brentford FC, Northampton Saints RFC and Hampshire CCC. Up for discussion were: - Team INEOS' three-stage approach to managing its organisation during the pandemic [6:00]; - Brushing off the envy of rivals and fellow competitors [23:00]; - Environmental factors that impact on what he terms the 'discretionary' aspects of performance [29:00]; - How his recent illness changed his perspective on work and life [37:00].

The Leaders Performance Podcast returns with Andy Friend, the Head Coach of Connacht Rugby. The Canberra native has been coaching for more than two decades across three continents, building the sort of resume that enticed Connacht to charge Friend with sustaining their recent success. Having been forced to retire prematurely due to injury, Friend stayed in the sport as a skills coach and assistant, first with the Waratahs, then with the Brumbies, where he developed a relationship with Head Coach Eddie Jones. He went with Jones to the Australia men's national team before striking out as a head coach in his own right at Harlequins in 2005.

Eliud Kipchoge ran into the record books in shattering the two-hour barrier for the marathon on 12 October. Beyond the Kenyan’s brilliance, the mastermind of the operation was Sir Dave Brailsford, the Principal of Team Ineos cycling, who served as CEO on the Ineos 1:59 Challenge, spent five months leading a project that proved a triumph of human performance, science and technology. In a Leaders Performance Podcast exclusive, Brailsford goes public with the details of how a large and disparate team came together to break boundaries in distance running. First, he explains how he worked to bring together the engagement and publicity elements of the Ineos 1:59 Challenge with the performance question at the heart of the project. Also on the conversational agenda were: - How the Ineos 1:59 Challenge differed from Nike and Kipchoge’s unsuccessful Breaking2 project in 2017 [ from 9:20]; - The steps taken once it was decided that Vienna’s Prater Park would make for the best venue [from 17:00]; - Brailsford’s work to get everyone on the team pulling in the same direction [from 26:50]; - The execution of the run by Kipchoge and Co. [from 32:50]; - What success meant to Brailsford and the future of marathon running [from 39:00].

Nesta pílula, Luiz Felipe Prota conta um pouco sobre Sir Dave Brailsford, criador do termo "ganhos marginais", em que a máxima seria buscar melhoras pequenas, na ordem hipotética de 1%, em cada uma, e em todas as áreas referentes à preparação de um atleta de alto nível. No somatório final, o ganho na performance poderia ser expressivo. Afinal, dependendo do caso, 1% de ganho pode ser uma vantagem gigantesca.

I LOVE this topic and could speak all day about it! I got a little tongue tied at points with Sir Dave Brailsford's name! This podcast talks about how often taking action is the hardest step but it doesn't always need to be. If you apply the 1% Rule or the Aggregation of Marginal Gains, making as many small improvements as you can that lead to a huge increase in performance or results. This was the exact principle that Sir Dave Brailsford applied with the hugely successful Olympic Cycling teams and Team Sky at present, leading to numerous gold medals and Tour De France victories. I speak about those changes and provide example as to how you can go away from this podcast apply those 1%'s to your every day life in order to get multiple steps closer to your goal without the fear fo taking dramatic or drastic action that is unsustainable e.g. juice diets. As always if you have listen and like what your hear please leave a review or share with friends and family. Send me a message below fig you enjoyed the podcast would be great to continue the conversation. https://www.instagram.com/bethwillis_pt/ https://www.facebook.com/willisfitnessPT

Britain's Chris Froome is in intensive care after crashing into a wall at 55 kilometres an hour during a reconnaissance ride at the Dauphine stage race in south-east France. He will no longer compete in this year’s Tour de France. Sir Dave Brailsford - team principal of Team Ineos - joins BeSpoke to update them on Froome's injuries after the six-time Grand Tour winner was airlifted to hospital with multiple fractures.

Sir Bradley Wiggins is one of cycling's greats. The first Briton to win the Tour de France; the Hour Record holder; an Olympic champion in multiple disciplines. Since retiring though, you won't be surprised to hear he doesn't ride as much as he used to. In fact, while recording this, I didn't see him on a bike at all. So instead, we chatted as we travelled around Britain together for a theatre tour during the Autumn. Other well-known names crop up, like Sir Dave Brailsford, Mark Cavendish and Sean Yates. This, though, is quite different to other episodes, but then Brad is very different to every other cyclist.See more on Instagram and on Strava.

The toughest part of coaching isn't necessarily coaching itself. Instead, it's the niche, isn't it? How do you go looking for the right niche? And how do you know when you've found one that's rewarding as well as profitable? We go back in time with the British Cycling Team and what turned them into champions, and how their coach played a role. We also look at how Pilates went from being everything to everyone to finding a solid niche. Listen and enjoy. Click here to read online: Coaching Series 1/3: How To Start Up With A Great Niche ________________________________________ Hand washing is not exactly the activity you'd indulge in if you wanted to win the gold medal at the Olympics. Yet, that's exactly what the British Cycling Team did at the 2008 Beijing Olympics. They hired a surgeon to teach the athletes to properly wash their hands, in order to avoid illnesses during competition. The team staff were utterly fastidious about food preparation. They even brought their own mattresses and pillows, so that the athletes could sleep in a familiar posture every night. What does all of this have to do with coaching? It might seem totally weird, even slightly crazy, but these were just some of the methods Sir Dave Brailsford, head of British Cycling used to turn his scrappy little bunch into world champions. British Cycling went from a terrible 76 year record of just one gold medal, to 7 out of 10 gold at the Beijing Olympics and then 7 out of 10 at yet again at the London Olympics. They've even won three out of the last Tour de France competitions, with only Italy interrupting their successful run. Surely Britain didn't sprout champions overnight Something else was in play, and that something else is simply the teacher, or a coach. And there's a remarkable difference between being just someone who coaches others, and one that coaches to get precise results. The coach who works with a specific goal in mind takes great performers and transforms makes them unbeatable. If you look at almost any great artist, performer, athlete or professional, it's easy to seduce yourself into believing in inborn talent. In almost every instance, you will find it's the coach and their methods that take the client from a seemingly ordinary level to something quite stupendous. Without a coach, a person has to go through the gruelling method of having to figure out all the mistakes and fix it themselves. When you look at the 10,000 hour principle, what you're seeing is someone who doesn't have an outstanding coach. A coach can not only reduce the learning curve, but can make learning fun and addictive. In this series, we'll take apart not just what makes for good coaching, but the elements of coaching. Let's get started. How do you define your Niche as a Coach? Around the time of the California Gold Rush, one man, Samuel Brannan was known as the richest man in California. Contrary to what we might believe, Brannan didn't quite make his money panning for gold. He'd decided early on that he'd never make much money in the gold mines. Instead, he was reputed to have gone down the streets of San Francisco, shouting, “Gold, there's gold down the American river”. So where did Brannan's riches arise? His fortune arose from a strategic move. He owned the only store between San Francisco and the gold fields. He stocked his store with the picks, shovels and pans he could find paying barely 20 cents for each pan and selling it for $15 each. In scarcely nine weeks, he had made over $36,000 (in today's terms that would be 1,080,077.47). In short, Brannan put himself in a position where it was hard, even impossible for him to fail with his insight. When starting up as a coach, it's not easy to have such clear insight. In many cases, you're in transition yourself. You're often trying to find your own feet, your own space and voice. You do know one thing, though. You know that you can't be like everyone else rushing off with their pans and shovels. You instinctively know you've almost got to swing the other way and find a niche. But how do you go about creating a niche? Let's start with luck, shall we? When I first got to Auckland in 2000, I got thrust into coaching by accident—twice. I wasn't into coaching at all, but instead was drawing cartoons on Photoshop. A client who'd come over watched in awe as I got rid of all the icons on the screen. No tool bar, no colour picker, not even a menu bar. “Where is everything”? He asked, amazed partially at the speed of my method, but more because I seemed to be working almost magically. I explained I was using shortcuts and he was so impressed that he offered me $1000 to train his daughter. And I had my first accidental coaching session “How to use Photoshop faster than graphic designers”—that was my temporary slogan. In a week, his daughter went from never using Photoshop to teaching graphic designers how to use shortcuts as well. With my new found slogan, I managed to pick one more client—yes, another graphic designer. As a result, I was able to do my cartoons in my Superman time and had this little Clark Kent coaching operation on the side. But why was this type of coaching earning me a fair bit of money in a brand new country? I didn't have any testimonials, no referrals, not even a business card and most definitely no website. What I did have was a subset, or what you'd call a niche. Which coincidentally takes us to the second coaching scenario. Around 2001, I had decided I didn't want to draw cartoons for a living anymore and started up a marketing company, instead. At first, I tried to solve every possible marketing problem and got nowhere in a hurry. Then, one day, by sheer fluke I decided to create a presentation on just seven elements. This presentation was called The Brain Audit, and once I was done with the presentation, I was pushed into creating a book, which then sold online and guess what buyers wanted next. They wanted me to coach them on The Brain Audit I wish I knew what I was doing back then, but the reality is I didn't know much at all. I was desperately reading books, buying courses and finding myself spending anywhere between $1500 to $8000 for seminars and workshops. However, at the very same time, clients were happy to pay me as much as $150 an hour to help them through The Brain Audit. If you put the Photoshop and The Brain Audit story together, you should easily see what's happening It's the power of the subset that matters most to clients. Clients don't want to learn how to cook Indian food. They want to learn a subset, like “vegetarian food for special occasions”. They don't want to learn InDesign, but instead “how to create an ebook in under an hour”. In almost every subset, we also find there are both—a specific problem and a corresponding solution. But the moment you get out of the subset, there's a complete lack of clarity. Let's go back to Photoshop, shall we? What problem does it solve? How about marketing? What problem does it solve? And Indian food? See what I mean? The problem with saying “I'm a life coach” or “I'm an NLP coach” or “I'm a boxing coach” is totally pointless. People can't make head or tail of what you're trying to say. But the moment you pick a subset, you almost automatically get a problem and solution. And maybe that's where you ought to start What problems do clients have in Photoshop? Or with guitar playing, watercolours, marketing or NLP? How can you reverse engineer that problem so that you can end up with a solution? Then, it won't matter if you have a fancy card, website or referrals, what you do have is a solution to their problem. And that's how you get started with a niche. You start with the problem It's not going to make you a nine-week millionaire like Samuel Brannan, but it will get you off the ground and started into the world of coaching. How do you know you've found the right niche? If you were asked to go to the supermarket and buy a packet of potato chips, would you make the right choice? There are only two answers here, aren't there? You could pick the right one, or be wildly off the mark. After all, the supermarket loads at least two dozen different brands and then there are the variations. Low fat, full fat, crinkled, plain salted, vinegar, paprika, whisky—who knows what else! The chances of getting it wrong far, far exceed the probability of getting it right. And how do we know if we've got it wrong or right? It depends who you're buying the chips for, doesn't it? If Renuka sends me into the market to get chips, I know I can only get the brand called Proper Crisps, and it won't matter if I get the paprika or the salted versions—because they're both the right choices. When choosing a niche, it might seem like you're stuck in a “nightmare supermarket aisle” Wouldn't it be better, if there were a way to make a correct choice from the very start? Let's find out whether such a task is possible, or if we just have to bludgeon our way through choices. The reality is that the answer lies somewhere in between No matter what niche you pick, you can almost be certain you're off the mark. The good news is that you're partially, not completely off the mark. Which means that a piano coach, life coach, breathing coach—any kind of coach is more or less going to be in the right box. They'll still be in the broad spectrum of piano, life coaching and breathing, just like the chips are still in the broad range of chips. What makes a niche right isn't the broad spectrum that you choose, but instead, the narrow niche you choose to occupy. You might know the story of the coach, Joseph Pilates Pilates wasn't an exercise coach in his early years. Born in Germany in 1883, he'd already dabbled in gymnastics and bodybuilding in his younger years. In 1912 when he moved to England, he moved to professional boxing, was a circus performer and a self-defence trainer. Notice how versatile Pilates seems to be? Well, that's the problem with a lot of businesses. They have the capacity or at least believe they can be a one-size-fits-all-type-of-coach. And it's not like Pilates was destitute. Despite this smorgasbord of doing a bit this and a bit of that, he got by. However, it's only in 1925, that he finds a niche Over the years, and through World War I, he developed an integrated, comprehensive system of physical exercise, which he called “Contrology”. Instead of trying to appeal to everyone who wanted to improve their well being, Pilates set up shop under a dance studio. The dancers needed to be fit at all times, plus have flexibility, strength and stamina. His focus was on reducing injuries, and to the outside world, it looks like he just got lucky to find this profitable niche. Luck has its role to play, but when we examine the unlucky coaching businesses, there's a clear pattern The businesses that struggle are those that stay incredibly generic. You ask the coach what she does, and she says, “I'm a writing coach”. As you can tell, her statement tells you nothing. But if we were to choppitty-chop our way a bit, she might say, “I'm a writing coach that specialises in removing writer's block.” Notice how that specialisation gets your attention? She's possibly good at teaching writers how to create structure, drama, flow, style and a whole bunch of other stuff related to writing. But the moment she goes wide, she loses the power of the niche. We wonder if we've found the right niche, but any niche is the right niche. Pilates could have made a great life for himself as a boxing coach, a self-defence coach, a circus coach. But he instead he chose to focus not just on an audience of dancers, but then to “reduce injuries”. All niches are already niches There's no such thing as the right niche. The moment you get yourself into a category of being a writing coach, you've already cancelled out all the other things you can do. But your audience still won't care, because a client doesn't buy into a coach. Instead, the client buys into a specific problem that needs solving. We waste endless days, weeks and months—even years trying to find the “right niche” when in reality we're already in the right niche, but haven't defined the problem we're solving. But how do you know if the problem is the right problem? There's no such thing as the right problem. But there is such a thing as a recurring problem. Do dancers get injuries? Yes, they do. Did they get injuries during the time of Pilates dance studio? Yes, they did, and they still do today. If you are a fitness coach, all you need to do is specialise in how you can make the dancers get fewer injuries. You don't even have to reinvent the problem. It was done for you back in 1925 by Pilates. You think Writer's Block is a recent problem? Or was snoring invented yesterday? Not one of these things are new, and all you need to do is look for the recurring problem. People have had these problems for centuries and will continue to have the same problems over and over again. Where do you go from here? Your first step is to find yourself a category. e.g. Writing. The second step is to find yourself an audience. e.g. Small business owners who want to write blogs. The third and final step is to find the recurring problem: Writer's block. And there you have it—your niche—the right niche—is yours for the asking. Next Step: How To Make The Mental Leap From a Job into Entrepreneurship

Day 5 of the Tour de France 2018, and a great stage from Brittany with a win by Sagan. We have Sir Dave Brailsford, and Mathew Hayman popping in for a chat too.

To celebrate the start of the Tour de France, cycling presenter and former racer Rebecca Charlton takes you behind the scenes at one of the world's biggest bike events to find the race is on in the kitchen to fuel riders who need to eat up to 8,000 calories per day for three weeks straight. She learns about Chris Froome's nutrition plan with Olympic coach and now Team Principal at Team Sky, Sir Dave Brailsford, she joins chef Sean Fowler as he cooks for the Groupama FDJ team as they fight for a place on the podium and she hears how the author of the Grand Tour Cookbook Hannah Grant had to battle to get her meals on the table in some of the worst kitchens imaginable.

Where and how does Sir Dave Brailsford define the thin line between good and great? How do you overcome imposter syndrome? Why should you learn to cherish nerves? What have psychopaths got to do with elite sporting performance? All these questions and more are answered in the latest instalment of the Leaders Performance Podcast, which features a series of interviews recorded backstage at the Leaders Sport Performance Summit in London in early November. You'll hear from: - Sir Dave Brailsford: the Team Sky Principal discusses the thin line between winning and losing, and what a 'chapter' mindset can do for you - Stuart Goldsmith: the stand-up comedian and host of the Comedian's Comedian podcast reveals his secret to tackling imposter syndrome and pontificates on the concept of 'flow' - Dr Kevin Dutton: the University of Oxford Research Psychologist delves into the links between psychopathy and elite performance - Dr Dehra Harris: the communications specialist from the University of Washington's medicine department talks cohesion, teamwork and emotional intelligence

Marketing industry bellwether Sir Martin Sorrell kicked off this year's Leaders Sport Business Summit and he kickstarted this behind-the-scenes podcast too. Nic Coward, the man tasked with interviewing Sir Martin, gives his assessment of the discussion. This collection of conversations also includes: - Sir Dave Brailsford on a turn as questioner rather than questioned as he reflects on a conversation with Billy Beane - very much Marginal Gains meets Moneyball. - Rich Gotham, President of the Boston Celtics, talking about cold meets before he’s interrupted by Philadelphia 76ers CEO Scott O’Neil and a discussion on NBA jersey patches, dynamic ticketing and more ensues. - Irina Pavlova, former President of Onexim Sports & Entertainment, on an intimidating run out with WWE chief brand officer Stephanie McMahon and her plans for a new role in London. - Reflections on monetizing digital platforms – with insight from FT CEO John Ridding, Conde Nast’s Dolly Jones and Keith Grossman from Bloomberg via Omnigon Chief Commercial Officer Dave Nugent. - Lewis Wiltshire on Legendary Entertainment’s Matt Marolda and Moneyball for movies and the major social platforms and their likely – or unlikely - moves into sport. - Gerry Cardinale, founder and CEO of RedBird Capital, and the man behind the creation of the YES Network and Legends Hospitality, on where to find the real value in sport.

Make that four. Mark Cavendish claims his 30th Tour de France stage win. Matt, Ned and David discuss that and there's also an interview with Sir Dave Brailsford about what makes Chris Froome quite so special. For information regarding your data privacy, visit acast.com/privacy
