Hey everyone! Thank you for joining us for Episode 2, "4th and... Australian?".
I sat down with Hugh Robertson, a recently graduated athlete from the University of Illinois. Hugh competed as the punter for UIUC's football team from 2020-2024. He is originally from Australia and shared his experiences of being an international athlete in the Collegiate Football context.
Here are some key themes of the episode:
1. Culture of Sport in Australia
2. Current state of the punting position in Collegiate Football
3. "Sense of belonging"
4. Student vs Athlete debate
5. Experiences with fan hate
6. Globalization of Sport
Hope you enjoy the episode!!
