Origin story
Challengers is born from a desire to connect two facets of the same world, Sport.
I came to realise that athletes and sport professionals can learn so much from each other. Athletes might be looking for sponsorships or ideas for their career transitions. On the other hand, sport specialists might want to connect with athletes, learn about their challenges and successes to benefit their own lives and careers.
Through the episodes, I hope you will discover inspiring stories and practical knowledge. I aim to create a platform that uncovers authentic life stories and fosters a-ha moments for my audience. It is a great privilege to discover firsthand the journeys of these passionate individuals, trusting that their experiences will echo with the challenger in you.
