Hear Rich share what it really means to be 'inclusive' in sports in his chat with the @sportsagentspod below ⬇️

[The Sports Agents @sportsagentspod]

🗣️ 'We need to be able to have honest conversations without fear of getting something wrong.'

@marathonchamp joined us for a frank chat about inclusivity in sport, telling @GabbyLogan and @markchapman that we can't just 'bang the inclusivity drum'. 🥁
