In this, the 18th series of The Game Changers I’m talking to founders and entrepreneurs. These are the women who have set up organisations that help change the landscape for all women and girls across sport. 

There’s so much we can learn from their journeys as they openly share the challenges and joys in establishing new brands, finding investment and building businesses.
