What’s Your Goal Podcast
Charitable sports initiative co-founded by chartered Psychologist Dr Simon Moore and Former England and Chelsea Captain Katie Chapman to help support, educate and inspire young people and their parents in football and teams sports. With government cuts to community funding and an increase in the number of children wanting to participate in team sports – there is a growing gap between demand and opportunity.
Through our podcast we are trying to raise funds to be able to support local communities set up more teams, have better equipment, hire more professional coaches and afford pitch hire each week! For example on average it takes a girl 45 minutes to travel to a girls football team – that’s providing her parents have a car and the time to take her. We want more local inner city and rural team opportunities. This initiative also supports the physical and mental wellbeing of young people – by getting sports scientists, nutritionists, performance coaches and sports career experts to help them manage their journey on and off the pitch.
We are seeking both a Podcast sponsor – who sees value in supporting encouraging young people into sport and helping them manage themselves physically and mentally and sponsors who see value in helping local communities set up more sporting team based opportunities for young people. Great PR and Marketing opportunities to be allied and aligned to community inclusion, diversity, and young peoples mental and physical well being.
