Welcome back to Not Just Football, brought to you by Sky Bet!
Why are girls still quitting sports at alarming rates? This week, Christine Lampard, Hayley McQueen, and Kelly Cates dive into the shocking stats that reveal nearly HALF of adolescent girls drop out of sport—and what’s really behind it. From confidence issues to lack of role models, the panel explores why so many young women walk away from the game and what needs to change.
Kelly shares a parenting trick borrowed from Michelle Obama that could be the key to keeping girls engaged in sport, while Hayley and Christine reflect on their own experiences growing up.
Elsewhere, the debate over Old Trafford’s future heats up—should Manchester United’s legendary stadium be knocked down and rebuilt? Hayley, a lifelong fan, gives her surprising take. Plus, from football fashion to unexpected celebrity encounters (yes, Will Ferrell at a match), this episode has it all.
