Show Notes - The Ed Morgan Episode

Episode Summary: In this episode of the Jimmy & Joe’s Podcast, Nick and Mark are joined by Ed Morgan — former London Blitz player, chairman, and unofficial historian of his time with the programme.

Ed reflects on growing up in the North-East, finding American football at university, and the path that took him from rookie player to helping lead the Blitz into European competition. Along the way, he shares lessons on leadership, volunteering, club culture, and why enjoyment matters just as much as intensity.

This is a conversation packed with stories from training camps, European meetings, coaching rooms, and the moments that define teams long after the season ends.

Key Talking Points:

• Discovering American football at university
• Coaches, role models, and finding your voice
• Leadership, negotiation, and running a club on a shoestring
• European competition and Blitz history
• Training camps, culture, and shared suffering
• Why people perform best when they’re enjoying it

This episode is a masterclass in organic leadership — how influence grows from showing up, caring deeply, and being willing to do the unglamorous work. Ed’s stories highlight how sport teaches negotiation, communication, resilience, and community in ways that last far beyond the final whistle.

It’s also a reminder that the moments people remember most aren’t always the championships — they’re the camps, the bus rides, the arguments, the laughs, and the shared grind.

“If people aren’t enjoying it, you’ll never get the best out of them.”
