ABOUT THIS PODCAST 🔗
More Than A Name explores untold, unfiltered sporting stories. Hosted by former England and Premier League defender Luke Young and sports presenter Max Whittle, each episode sits down with athletes, coaches, and public figures to talk about the side of success we rarely see — identity, pressure, mental health, and the moments they felt most lost. It goes beyond career stats and media clichés to dig into the emotional and mental weight of being in the spotlight — revealing the human behind the headlines.
