Episode notes
In this episode, we welcome back Shona Richards, Academy Player Care Lead at the club, as we explore the work happening behind the scenes to support Albion's young players as they progress through the academy pathway.
A former GB hurdler and British record holder, Shona opens up about her athletics journey, the injuries that changed her career and how those experiences now shape the support she gives to young footballers coming through Brighton's academy system.
We look into the importance of identity beyond football and preparing young people for life, whether they make it in the Premier League or not.
