In this episode of the Empire Fighting Chance podcast, Neil talks to somebody that's been pivotal in the journey of the charity.

It's sports psychologist Sam Kotadia. He cut his teeth in professional football, working at several clubs, including currently with Wrexham FC. He's also starring in Welcome to Wrexham, the behind the scenes documentary about the club which is streaming on Disney plus.

Sam crossed the Rubicon into boxing when he was working at Bristol boxing gym stable several years ago. After a conversation with Martin Bisp and Jamie Sanigar from the charity, they asked him to write some programs for coaches to use with young people with some underlying principles which guide the work of the charity as a whole.

In this discussion, Neil and Sam dive into sports psychology and how he is trying to push the field forward at Empire Fighting Chance.
