This Is My Playbook

In this podcast created by Greenhouse Sports we'll be hearing from a host of inspiring people from across the canvas of life - sport, business, the arts, education and more. They will tell us about who and what inspired them, as well as what they want to share and pass on. Some guests are known to millions and are household names, some not in public life at all but their stories and inspirations are no less extraordinary.   Greenhouse Sports is the charity that uses sport to help disadvantaged young people and communities.   Their core belief is that every child deserves opportunities and a fair chance to succeed in life. And through Greenhouse's Coaches and partners, they look to make that a reality.   2022 is Greenhouse Sports 20th anniversary.   They are very proud that in 20 years the charity has worked with more than 50,000 children in London, keeping them engaged with education, helping them achieve better results, better jobs and a better future.    Their magic is the Greenhouse Coach, unique individuals who are sports coach, trained mentor and role-model combined - they engage with kids through sport, and teach them the life-skills they need. There are 4 million children in situations just like those Greenhouse has supported across the UK right now. They missing out on opportunity and Greenhouse Sports has proven there is a way to level-up their life chances. You too can help them support another generation of young people as they begin our next 20 years.

    Run in the Sun: Simon Dent - A champion of challenge fundraising

    Simon Dent is a self-confessed sports nut. His fondest memories growing up all like to sport and he took that into his adult life and career, firstly as a lawyer and sports agent and then as founder of the successful Dark Horses creative agency, which specialised in working across the sports industry and to the current day job - as founder of HERO Talent agency, representing elite sports professionals and broadcasters. He's been a friend of Greenhouse for more than 15 years, firstly as a volunteer football coach and now as a champion fundraiser as an obsessive ultra-runner. He's completed two huge challenges raising funds for Greenhouse with rugby league legend Jamie Peacock - a 50 miles loop of London in 2021, doubled to 100 miles in 2022, to this year when in a month he takes on the Marathon des Sables, one of the toughest foot races in the world, 7 days across the desert to complete a 250km run. When asked what motivates him, he says he is 'goal-oriented' but more notably and openly, having had a very tough period in his life suffering with debilitatiing mental health challenges he says: 'I was at the lowest ebb I could possibly be.. so after that experience, in some ways the Marathon des Sables is a walk in the park. Nothing will ever be as hard as that.. The Marathon des Sables attracts people who have had similar experiences.. whereby we've been to dark places.. once you've been to a certain place, there's not much else that can knock you over.'

    Ama Agbeze: Winning Gold - A Journey not a Prize

    This summer Birmingham hosted the 22nd Commonwealth Games, the largest multi-sport event to be held in England in 10 years, featuring thousands of world-class athletes and over 1.5 million spectators. It was, by anyone’s account, a roaring success. The city was a brilliant host, the people of Birmingham proudly, creatively, welcomed everyone and displayed the best of the UK’s diverse and energetic second City. The wider UK public who filled the venues to capacity, showcased once more the community spirit that made the London Olympics the best in living memory. At the heart of it all was Ama Agbeze, a Brummie, a Greenhouse Sports ambassador, former Commonwealth Games gold medallist as captain of Team England Netball and a Director of the Games’ organising committee. Ama @amaagbeze is the latest guest on ‘This Is My Playbook’ podcast and openly shares her life experience to host Simon Mundie @simonmundie reflecting on life at high level elite sport, what it really means to win the greatest prize and the value and purpose she takes from sport as she transitions to life off the court. "I think what winning gold does is validate it for people externally, there will be athletes in all sports who have gone through their careers and never won a gold of or bronze medal. And it doesn't necessarily mean that they didn't exist, or their journey was invalid. They've still gone through what they've gone through. They've still learned what they have experienced, met people. And so, the journey is probably more important I think, than the medal. The medal just is that little star at the top of the Christmas tree" - Ama Agbeze MBE Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

    My Progress Club - Dip low to jump high

    In this episode I speak to Greenhouse’s Sports director of coaching Jason Sugrue   Jason was an elite table tennis player, who was introduced to the sport by his Dad – who was sadly murdered when Jason was just twelve. The journey that Jason has been on and the lessons he has learnt along the way are so powerful. In this episode Jason redefines success, and explains the power of helping other young people in life. As he says – there are few things more rewarding.   I hope you enjoy our conversation. In this podcast series – created by Greenhouse Sports – we’ll be hearing from a host of inspiring people about who and what inspired, supported and encouraged them during difficult moments.   We’ll find out what they have learnt along the way and what they want to share and pass on.    Greenhouse Sports is the charity that uses sport to help disadvantaged young people and communities. Their core belief is that every child deserves opportunities and a fair chance to get on in life, and through Greenhouse’s coaches and partners – they look to make that a reality.   The work they do is about engaging with young people through sport and teaching them the life skills they need.   2022 is Greenhouse’s 20th anniversary, and over the last twenty years - the charity has helped more than 50,000 children in London, but there are a further four million children across the UK right now that they would like to help.   If you would like to find out more about their work and how you could help support another generation of young people – head to greenhousesports.org to find out more.   Hosted on Acast.
