Episode 87 - The Future of Sport and How Sport Decided to Stand Up for Mental Health

As only For & Against can, this show is one of extremes as the team tackle on one hand, the intrusion of "popularity payments" into golf and "youtube sensations" into boxing, and on the other, the incredibly serious topic of mental health in sport, as highlighted by Naomi Osaka and Matthew Wolff at recent major events. We interview former Socceroo, Michael Thwaite, about his own experiences with mental illness at the very top level and how his new mentoring program, "That's Football", is helping people create mental wellbeing and transition into a profession they value.As always, there is also Red Card Yellow Card, poking fun at sportspeople behaving ridiculously off the field of play. We also see just how much damage Cristiano Ronaldo did to Coke's share price by taking their bottles off the table at a press conference.Join us for another great episode of For & Against!See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
