Learning 'life' lessons through sport

From Afternoons, 3:10 pm on 14 March 2023

Every big life lesson Jody Avirgan has learned has come from sports: how to be a good teammate, how to channel competitiveness, how to focus and when to let go. He's a former professional Ultimate Frisbee player, podcaster and producer whose worked for ESPN as well as data analytics website FiveThirtyEight. He's now the host of a new podcast for TED called Good Sport. He believes sport is more than fun and games and everyone, fan or not, can have a go at learning some of the lessons sport has taught him.
