Awesome podcast, thanks for sharing! Sport also plays an important role in my life, but now there is no time for that. I'm very busy with assignments and currently preparing a research paper. I found a service that can help me with this https://www.phdresearchproposal.org/ After all, for me the main thing is quality, and I decided to ask for help to prepare properly.
