  • The perfect podcast for sport graduate students

    Hi

    My name is Flavius and I am an international student at La Trobe, doing my master in sport management.

    Just wanted to say hello, and also to say that I’m listening to your podcast every day. You guys are doing an amazing job, and every day I’m learning a new thing/tip on how or what to do after my graduation.

    Amazing job from both of you, keeping going 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

    Have a great weekend
