Ouissem Belgacem was a promising Tunisian international fullback whose career was cut short at just 20 years old. His experiences after retiring at such a young age led to the inception of OnTrack-Sports.

Part of the company's mission statement reads;

"We are a team of experts who ensure that the skills, dedication and talent necessary to take footballers to the top of their profession translates into success in their lives after sport. We help footballers (and their families) to make the often difficult transition from professional football by giving them the confidence and the skills they need to remain successful after the final whistle blows."

We talk to Ouissem about his career at Toulouse, representing Tunisia at international level, the difficulties he faced playing in the United States and the premise of OnTrack-Sports.

Although the Hero Indian Super League is only 3 years old, there's no denying it's a thriving competition with an immeasurable potential.

Football is behind Cricket as the number one sport in India but the ISL's presence is rapidly closing the gap. Stadiums are packed out every week, some clubs are coached by stellar names who are cutting their teeth in management while others have decorated managers at the helm. There's no doubt the ISL is here for the long run/

Leeza joins Stel to talk about her career path and ISL experiences thus far.

Leeza's enthusiasm is infectious while her dedication and work ethic is the perfect blueprint for aspiring journalists.

Stel, Yiannakis, Travis and Mark discuss a number of topics on this week's show.

First on the agenda is the tragic plane crash involving Brazilian club Chapecoense. Undoubtedly one of the biggest disasters in the history of football.

We then turn our attention to the weekend's Premier League action and preview the top of the table clash between Man City and Chelsea.

A discussion on the delicate situation being child abuse allegations is followed by some Serie A talk, a Norwegian central defender being the Managing Director of the club he plays for and a quick chat about the Indian Super League.

Check out www.ball-launcher.com or the twitter page Ball Launcher @technevate. The videos on the site show what this little beast is capable of. It’s really compelling stuff and I think it can make a difference.
