  • Exploring the Growth of Women's Football: Opportunities and Challenges in a Rapidly Evolving Landscape

    Exploring the Growth of Women's Football: Opportunities and Challenges in a Rapidly Evolving Landscape
    Dec 3 2025
    In this episode, David delves into the growth and evolution of women's football, sharing personal experiences from volunteering at the 2022 Women's Euros and discussing the current landscape of the women's game. David highlights the increasing investment, commercial growth, and emerging career opportunities within the sector, emphasising the importance of player protection and professional support as the game transitions from semi-professional to fully professional. KEY TAKEAWAYS Growth of Women's Football: Women's football is experiencing significant growth, with increasing investment and commercial opportunities. Career Opportunities: As the women's game expands, new job roles are emerging in areas such as marketing, partnerships, fan engagement, and sports science. Player Protection and Rights: Recent regulations, including FIFA's maternity leave policies and the NWSL's new collective bargaining agreement, are enhancing player protections. Innovative Approaches: The women's game allows for creativity and innovation in marketing and fan engagement strategies, as it is still in a relatively nascent stage compared to men's football. Importance of Professionalism: As women's teams transition from semi-professional to fully professional, there is a need for improved infrastructure, including HR and medical support. BEST MOMENTS “I still believe it is in an infancy stage, but it was super raw. We hadn't won the Euros yet, so there wasn't the same level of buzz that was created after it." "Women's football is fighting for credibility, it's fighting for legitimacy, right? And the business for it to survive... the women's game is always going to be fighting for legitimacy." "If you want a game to be respected... how do you deal with that balance? Are you dealing with it from the perspective of we're going to try and be jokey, funny?" "Match day revenue is becoming a massive, massive part of the overall growth of the game. We're seeing more games in main stadiums." "The reason why this game will grow... is starting by protecting the players, starting by protecting these freelancers, because that's what athletes are, right?"

  • Marketing in Elite Level Football: Elite Marketing at Southampton Football Club

    Marketing in Elite Level Football: Elite Marketing at Southampton Football Club
    Nov 30 2025
    In this episode, David invites Chris Samson for an insightful conversation about who has successfully navigated the challenging journey from university straight into the Premier League, with a focus on analysis and scouting. Chris shares their experience of leveraging every opportunity, from academic coursework and volunteering to securing a full-time role. KEY TAKEAWAYS Adaptability is crucial: Having a skillset to adapt during the change and evolution of technology plays a key role in handling changes at big organisations Proactive Networking is Essential: The guest demonstrated the power of proactive networking, using university projectss, his own blog & work within Scotland as platforms to meet and impress key decision-makers within clubs. The Non-Negotiable of a Personal Brand: Building a consistent and professional personal brand (online and offline) is necessary to stand out in a saturated market and clearly communicate one's unique value proposition. Value Consistency Over Perfection: Consistently demonstrating reliability, a strong work ethic, and a thirst for learning is more valuable in the early stages than waiting for a project to be "perfect" before sharing it.
