Just a few weeks ago AFC Fylde's Women's team was disbanded, the decision blamed on the financial uncertainty the club had been thrown into because of coronavirus. But the team found their voice, they spoke to the media, including the Fired Up Sport podcast, and that made one hell of a difference. Coach Kim Turner returns to the podcast to update us. And we hear from Jorge Sanchez, a Canadian Football coach who tweeted his support of Lewes FC's Marketing lead Charlie Dobres in last weeks podcast. Charlie was arguing the case for women's footballers to stop being compared to their male counterparts and seen as elite athletes in their own right. It's a battle Jorge has been fighting his entire career. As a University soccer coach he's trained players who've gone on to play for the national side. So, we thought we'd get him on to hear what that fight for equality felt like, one he's fought for decades, from a male point of view ?
