Inviting inspiring individuals from across the business of sport and esports to talk about their career journeys and the trends shaping the future of the sports industry.
Andrew Nixon (https://www.linkedin.com/company/98064979/admin/page-posts/published/?share=true#) recently sat down for a conversation with Dame Tracey Crouch (https://www.linkedin.com/company/98064979/admin/page-posts/published/?share=true#), former MP for Chatham and Aylesford and a former Minister for Sport, and of course the former chair of the now famous Fan Led Review which resulted in the White Paper on Football Governance.
In this second part, Andrew and Dame Tracey covered everything from the Fan Led Review, and the Football Governance Bill, to the future of women’s sport (and why women’s football wasn’t part of the Fan Led Review) and Dame Tracey’s transition from the public to private sector.
Dame Tracey also answered the question we ask all our guests: “what trends do you predict will impact the sports sector over the next few years?”.
