The Sport and Recreation Podcast

Hosted by Rob Arnott, Communications and Member Engagement Manager, Sport and Recreation Alliance (@RobArnott99).

This week we welcome Andy Parkinson, CEO of British Rowing on to the show. Having led British Rowing through a period of significant change over the past four years we asked Andy: “A modern national governing body which celebrates the past while being relevant to the next generation. Is it possible?” Tune in to hear what he had to say.

At one or two points, Andy refers to some slides which you can find here.

Our recent Fit for the Future Convention brought senior leaders from across the sport and recreation sector together to discuss behaviour change and how we can collectively influence more people to be more active, more often.

During the day, our CEO, Emma Boggis sat down with Sport England CEO, Tim Hollingsworth to get his take on behaviour change and hear about what we can expect from Sport England in the coming months and beyond. This podcast brings you all the best bits from that chat.
