Chuck Goldstein tells us how a 5G connected football helmet is helping him communicate with his deaf quarterback in a way which was unthinkable before. Goldstein is head coach of a team of deaf and hard of hearing players at Gallaudet University and he believes the technology could reduce potential injuries and allow deaf players to potentially make a career in the sport.

Ciara McCormack explains her plans to put players at the centre of everything she does following her takeover of Treaty United in Limerick. The former Republic of Ireland defender says the country saved her following the abuse she encountered in Canadian football.

And Neil Jones tells us how winning the National Lottery set him on a path towards captaining England’s pool team. One of the first things Jones bought with his winnings was a pool table.
