Lucy Rushton

Hey guys! 

Thanks for joining me and The Gay Footballer's Podcast. 

If this is you first time to the podcast, welcome! If you are returning, I appreciate your commitment to the podcast.

The goal of The Gay Footballer's Podcast is to spread the awareness of LGBTQ and ally representation in sports. With the main focus being on football, but also exploring other sports and personalities, each episode will consist of a 30 to 45 minute interview with an individual making an impact in their sporting discipline. Whether a current or former athlete, a member of an organizations front office, or even a sports journalist, each interview will help under cover the challenges, opportunities, and success LGBTQ individuals and allies face in their discipline within sports.

For the third full length episode, Adam interviewed Lucy Rushton from the United Kingdom. Lucy is the current Head of Technical Recruitment and Analysis at Atlanta United FC. She previously worked at Reading FC and Watford FC in analytics and recruitment. She is an incredible individual and I really think you guys will enjoy the interview.
