In this week's episode we challenge you to keep count of all the times we use the words 'group' or 'identity'! Identity is a theme that has been brought up consistently during previous episodes and notably by our guests as well. This is a topic that is crucial in both sport and our lives in general. Therefore, we thought that it was about time we spent an episode explaining identity and why it is so crucial that young players focus on developing their identities.
