Welcome back!
I’m delighted to return with more BS podcasts; now refreshed and with a new focus on sport. And I’m co-hosting with the wonderful Liam Botham, ex professional cricketer and rugby player.
In this first of a new series, we talk to former England international, Kent and Middlesex cricketer Ed Smith. Ed is also a prolific writer and broadcaster, past England national selector and now founder of the Institute of Sports Humanities which teaches a unique degree in sports leadership.
In this episode
What sport and cricket mean to Ed
What the study of history has taught Ed about sport
The problem with team talks
Emotionally intelligent coaches
Team selection and risk taking
How to make good decisions
Sport as art
Exclusive events
Liam and I are launching a sports and entertainment business network for which we are hosting exclusive, intimate events.
The first one is on June 17th in London when we will be joined for a panel discussion by Lord Ian Botham, Sir Andrew Strauss and Mo Bobat.
