Lauren Steadman on The Game Changers podcast

written by TSF
This week’s guest on The Game Changers podcast is the extraordinarily talented Lauren Steadman.

A paratriathlon World Champion and Paralympic silver medallist, Lauren enthralled the nation last year when she made it to the semi-finals of BBC’s ‘Strictly Come Dancing’. 

I’m not supposed to have favourites… but this is definitely one of my favourite interviews from The Game Changers. 

Lauren is so open and honest about her life and the challenges she’s faced – from dealing with her disability as a young schoolgirl, through to coping with public disappointment on the global sports stage.

She’s overcome so much and is now inspiring others with her amazing sporting achievements and all she does to give back to society.   

This is a must listen for anyone looking for a brilliant sports story. I’m excited to follow Lauren’s future progress as she works towards her ultimate goal of winning Paralympic Gold at Tokyo in 2020.

The Game Changers with Clare Connor CBE

written by TSF

In this week’s episode of The Game Changers, you’ll hear from Clare Connor CBE, former England Cricket Captain and now much respected Managing Director for Women’s Cricket at the ECB.

On Clare’s watch the women’s team were awarded professional contracts, increased sponsorship led to a new competitive structure and the England women won the World Cup in front of packed stands at Lords.

Clare talks frankly about how she’s overcome the challenges of working in a hugely male dominated sporting environment, reflects on her playing career and shares the ECB’s exciting plans to transform cricket for women and girls. 

I learnt so much talking to Clare – it’s a hugely inspiring conversation.

The Game Changers – Fearless Women in Sport

written by TSF

Today sees the launch of a new podcast called The Game Changers. Created and hosted by Sue Anstiss MBE, the series celebrates extraordinary, trailblazing women in sport.

The Game Changers first series features a remarkable line up of women including:

·         Baroness Tanni Grey-Thompson – 11 times Paralympic Champion

·         Chrissie Wellington MBE – four times Ironman World Champion

·         Sally Munday MBE – CEO at England and GB Hockey and new CEO at UK Sport

·         Maggie Alphonsi MBE – Rugby World Cup winner

·         Kate Richardson-Walsh OBE – Olympic Hockey Gold Medallist

·         Jo Bostock MBE – Co-founder and CEO Women’s Sport Trust

·         Pamela Cookey – England Netball legend

·         Dame Katherine Grainger – Olympic rower turned Chair of UK Sport


The high-profile guests talk frankly about their historic careers, what drives them, how they’ve dealt with some of the toughest challenges they’ve faced and their future aspirations.

The Game Changers host, Sue Anstiss MBE, is CEO of sports PR agency Promote and a trustee at the Women’s Sport Trust. Passionate about the power of women’s sport to knock down barriers and challenge the status quo, in 2018 Sue was awarded an MBE in 2018 for her services to grassroots and women’s sport.

Commenting on her inspiration for The Game Changers, Sue says: “I’m a big fan of podcasts, and whilst there are some fantastic sports podcasts around, few consistently feature women’s sport.

“This started as a bit of a passion project for me – hoping to play my own part in raising the profile of women’s sport by highlighting these amazing stories – but it has rapidly grown into something much bigger. 

“I’ve been overwhelmed by the openness of these incredible women to share their stories in order to inspire others. It’s no wonder they are all trailblazers in women’s sport, whether that’s breaking records and winning gold medals or transforming the way women’s sport is accessed, managed, funded and portrayed.”

The first series of The Game Changers launches on June 4 with two podcasts simultaneously released featuring the remarkable Baroness Tanni Grey-Thompson, 11 times Paralympic Champion and now a Crossbench Peer in the House of Lords and Chair of ukactive and the legend that is Chrissie Wellington MBE, four times Ironman World Champion and now Global Lead of Health and Wellbeing for Parkrun. Future episodes will be released on Tuesdays throughout the summer.

The Game Changers is available across all usual channels including iTunes, Spotify, TuneIn and Libsyn.
