This week we take a step away from Commonwealth Games themed content, and welcome Bahrain's Mahmood Saeed. Mahmood was over in the UK having just taken part in the IJF Coaching Academy sessions. We talk about his journey through judo and efforts to support the growth of the sport in Bahrain in setting up his club.

Unfortunately, there's a bit of an echo, the room we recorded in obviously wasnt great! Stick with it as as Mahmood talks with an immense amount of passion about his experiences and I massively enjoyed this chat.
