Episode #1 Suzy Drane
Episode 1, Oct 10, 01:00 PM
Welcome to this special edition of the Team Wales partner podcast, in partnership with Speakeasy Club and hosted by Simon Clarke.
In this series, we’re joined by Team Wales partners and some very special guests for an open and honest conversation about mental health in business, sport and life.
We’ll explore how these organizations support their teams, the reasons behind their commitment to mental well-being, and how to navigate those tough but essential conversations.
Launched in honour of World Mental Health Day, this series shines a light on the importance of creating a supportive and mentally healthy workplace.
Stay tuned for powerful insights and meaningful conversations.
In this episode, we speak to Suzy Drane. A centurion in Netball for Wales, and the current chair of the Team Wales Athletes Commission. Suzy was super generous with her time, and we talked all things growing up getting involved in Netball, the pathway to representing her country, understanding who she was during and post a career in elite sport, and also the importance of ‘’her people’’. We hope you enjoy this episode.
