When Hard Work Meets Opportunity with Ben Garner

Season 3! BIGGER & BETTER -  The Academy Football Network. Hosted by Carlan Edgar

Emma May Walker joins the Network.

Emma is Southampton's Player Care Manager. Emma oversees Player Care across the entire club. Emma is widely thought of as one of the best in the business. Football often gets bad press about the care of its young people. We would be the first to say more work need to be done, however football has come a long way and with great practices being implemented in Clubs up and down the country. Great practices are nothing without caring people to implement these practices. Emma certainly typifies care.

Super episode!
