Sport for All (with Matt Rogan)

Matt Rogan (author) is the co-founder of Two Circles, writer, and respected sports business leader. Matt led the business from 2011-2020, during which time it grew to 300+ people and worked with the 6 biggest rights holders in the world. He is a non-executive director of the English Institute of Sport, delivering technology and sport science to Britain's Olympic and Paralympic teams as well as a Member of UK Sport’s World Class Events panel bringing major sports events to the UK. Matt’s second book, ‘All to Play For: How Sport Can Reboot our Future’ was recently published by Penguin Random House. Matt is currently travelling the world talking about its implications – from schools in the UK to Paris where we met, from Manchester United Football Club to the International Olympic Committee. The book has recently been shortlisted for the Sunday Times Sports Book Awards 2022. After a fractious period following the financial crash of 2008/9, and the recent devastation of the Covid-19 pandemic, sport - one of our few remaining collective rituals - is entering its golden age. An increasingly acknowledged powerful force for good, it is undergoing a dramatic transformation that will positively impact our lives, on and off the pitch. From the shared experience of a nationwide event that makes us celebrate together and the individual benefits to mind and body of lacing up your trainers, to the political leverage of a sportsperson's Twitter account, All to Play For is a roadmap for the way that sports can and do unite us in the worst of times.  What are the changes you’d like to see happen in how you engage with, participate in and consume sports?
