Update: 2020-07-03

This week on the Fired Up Sport podcast we hear from former Man City player Fran Brown on her groundbreaking football program Goals4Girls and how it's helped scores of young women, from mainly BAME backgrounds, gain confidence and find their voice both on and off the pitch. From a mixed race family herself Fran tells us how her own background helps her relate to the girls, why she thinks the government needs to focus more on inclusion in schools and about a life changing pep talk from Tennis legend Billie Jean King.
