It was a real treat to spend some time in the company of Dave Parry from the University of Essex in this week's episode.

Dave shares his winding story into HE sport, revealing some incredibly personal insights into his journey and the lessons he has learnt along the way that have shaped him into the leader he is today.

We also get to peak behind the curtain, into the pioneering work Essex are doing to drive fan engagement through their performance sport programmes and bring 'US style razmatazz' to the UK.

Dave is another example of a great human being, who is able to offer sage advice and doing some fantastic work to enhance the student experience through sport. This episode is definitely not one to miss!

Dave recommends we check out 'The Growth Equation' podcast, a place he goes to often for inspiration.
