In today's episode, James speaks to Natalie Justice-Dearn, the CEO of Rounders England, formerly of British Cycling, British Triathlon, and the Birmingham Football Association. Natalie is a firm supporter and promoter of all things surrounding women's sports and is a proud mum of three boys.
Building on the simplicity, informality, and sociability of the sport, Rounders England is the National Governing Body for the sport of rounders with a mission to ‘Ignite the Passion’ that many people have for the sport of Rounders, which is nostalgically linked to positive experiences at school and long hot summer days.

- Her desire to try out every single sport from a young age
- How Natalie got into football development
