The Sports Agents

Ahead of World Mental Health Day on 10th October, The Sports Agents presents a special episode about a conversation sport still finds difficult.
Gabby Logan sits down with three athletes from three very different worlds — Britain’s most successful female Olympian Dame Laura Kenny, boxer Campbell Hatton, son of the late Ricky Hatton, and professional basketball player and mental health advocate Kofi Josephs.
This is not a conversation about medals, titles or results. It’s about what happens away from competition, the pressure to keep going and why admitting that you need help can sometimes be the hardest step of all.
Three deeply personal conversations about mental health, and why talking really can make a difference.
This episode was recorded at The Royal Foundation's launch of the 'On Your Side' toolkit.

As calls grow for City’s owners to be removed, Prime Minister Andy Burnham says he would be sorry to see them go.
Gabby Logan and Mark Chapman are joined by Telegraph sports writer Owen Slot and The News Agents’ Jon Sopel to examine the latest fallout, what happens next for Manchester City — and what the case now means for the Premier League, its owners and the British government.

Manchester City have been found guilty of 114 of the 115 Premier League charges... So what happens now?
Mark Chapman and Nedum Onuoha trace the story back to its origins — from Portuguese whistleblower Rui Pinto to the Der Spiegel investigation which brought it to light.
The guys speak to Christoph Winterbach, the journalist at the heart of the investigation who first discovered the emails which could bring down Manchester City.
Then we turn our attention to the fallout.
If a legal bloodbath ensues and rival Premier League clubs begin pursuing Manchester City for lost revenue, prize money or European qualification - what does that mean for the future of the Premier League?
