Not every athlete’s story ends with going pro — and not every success is defined by the scoreboard.

In this short welcome episode, meet your hosts Laura and Frances as they introduce Almost Pro — a sports podcast dedicated to the powerful, untold stories of athletes whose journeys didn’t follow the script.

Each week, Almost Pro dives into the moments that shift an athlete’s path — from career-ending injuries to sliding door decisions — through the voices of those who’ve lived it: athletes, coaches, industry experts, and game changers.

This is where the human side of high performance takes centre stage.

Because being almost pro doesn’t mean you failed.

It means you dared.
