How can we level the playing field?

It is often said that sport is the great leveller - that once participants enter the track, court or field of play, their background, beliefs and even the fiercest conflicts all become temporarily irrelevant.

But in many aspects, the gap between the conditions and privileges afforded to certain sports and athletes but not others, is as large as it’s ever been.  However, there is an increasingly louder voice coming from those that are keen to change it. 

So how do we achieve this level playing field? And how do we ensure that equal opportunity and diversity become fundamental to the sporting experience in a sustainable way?

Join host Sam Robertson as he is joined by Professor Sophia Nimphius to work through one of sport's biggest current challenges.
