Hear how Philadelphia Eagles have boosted girls' confidence out on the field.

Hear how NFL team Philadelphia Eagles have boosted girls' confidence out on the field.

The Philadelphia Eagles set up a girls Flag Football league in 2022, which has subsequently grown to 52 teams and this year they’ll donate over 30,000 sports bras to athletes in need. Palumbo Lady Griffins player Ruth Duink and her coach Chris Donnelly discuss how having access to sports bras has boosted the girls confidence out on the field.

Loni Bergqvist tells us how she found love while hiking the famous Camino del Santiago. The American former teacher booked the trip while at a crossroads in her life and met her husband Kjarten, who was also restless in his own life. The couple now live in Denmark with their three children.

And - Manchester City and Netherlands defender Kerstin Casparij joins us to chat about her love of gaming. Casparij fell in love with video games by watching her father play Lara Croft: Tomb Raider when she was younger and says at City they try and score “FIFA type” goals.
