    Should the media 'support' England more at Euro 2024?

    Should the media 'support' England more at Euro 2024?

    Today on The Sports Agents - do the media actually have a responsibility to 'support' England more during a major international tournament?
    After Harry Kane and his England teammates bit back at recent criticism, England international Conor Coady sat down with Gabby & Mark for what it's really like inside Gareth Southgate's England camps...
    Will it lead to a siege mentality within the group, who are England's next generation of young leaders and how difficult is it to ignore criticism while on international duty.
    Later, Gabby also reflects on the Track & Field trials in the US over the weekend - and Snoop Dogg's 200m time!

    This week on The Sports Agents,
    After Rory McIlroy's dramatic decision to take a break from Golf, following his collapse at the US Open, Gabby & Mark were joined by 2010 Ryder Cup winning captain and five-time major runner up Colin Montgomerie, to debate whether golf is the most mentally-challenging sport out there and to re-live the US Open he himself 'threw away' back in 2006. 
    Later in the week, as Scotland kept their hopes a place in the knock-out stages of Euro 2024 alive, David Moyes joined Gabby for a morning coffee in Berlin, to discuss Tartan Army spirit, his own managerial future and player welfare as the number of games they're expected to play each season, continues to grow.
    Plus, with the new season's Premier League fixtures announced, we explored how the televised calendar really comes together with Sky Sports Director of Football Gary Hughes.

    This week on The Sports Agents,
    How and why did an image of Arsenal's Bukayo Saka become the main feature on the back pages of almost every major newspaper following England's 1-0 defeat to Iceland... despite him only featuring as a 65th minute substitute.
    Football writer Henry Winter and Channel 4 sports correspondent Jordan Jarrett-Bryan joined Gabby and Mark and reveal how these photos are chosen and why the context is important when it comes to Saka and England.
    And as promised, also this week, we took a closer look at Netball Super League 2.0 - the fallout, the repercussions for the game at grassroots level and the perfect example of what happens when a 'smaller' sport makes the decision to go professional.
    NSL managing director Claire Nelson and Team Bath's own Kadeen Corbin were among those to feature on this special episode.
    Just scroll back through The Sports Agents feed to listen to these shows in full. New episodes every Tuesday and Thursday.

    Do smaller sports need to go pro to survive?

    Do smaller sports need to go pro to survive?

    Does every sport need to professionalise in order to survive?...
    When plans for a revamped Netball Super League were revealed in May, fans and players were outraged at the exclusion of four franchises, including 5-time Champions Team Bath.
    Today, on The Sports Agents, Gabby & Mark speak to key stakeholders to find out how those uncomfortable decisions were reached and the effect the new changes will have on both current players and the next generation - as the entire South West of England (and Scotland) have been left without a team.
    Will Netball Super League 2.0 and the broadcast deals to televise every game enhance the sport, or will the changes mean many young fans are lost to other sports?
    NSL Managing Director Claire Nelson, Sarah Gandon from the Players' Association and Team Bath's own Kadeen Corbin feature, as well as, your questions!
