In this episode of 'The Final Whistle', we sit down to chat with Sports Conversation Architect Richard Shorter. Richard is the founder of Non-Perfect Dad, enabling coaches and parents to work together to produce winning character on and off the sports field. With Father's Day approaching, we took this as the perfect opportunity to talk about his work.

Richard discusses the relationship between an athlete and the parent, the importance of that bond, and the dynamic between a coach and a parent. Richard also provides a fascinating insight into his creative and pioneering work, having held numerous educational sessions with professional teams across many sports.

Stay tuned in the second half of the episode for 'Surrey Summarise', in which we will cover the last events in the Surrey FA County Cup Finals and provide some additional updates on club affiliation and referee registration for the upcoming season.
