Dedicated to sports, the podcast focuses on the role of physical activity in improving mental health and raises awareness about the connection between sports and education, health, human rights and women empowerment.

High-level local and regional athletes will be joining host Michel Zammar<\/a>, the 2019 Wushu World Champion, and his coach Ryan Merheb<\/a> on each of the twelve episodes of the first season to share with listeners their accomplishments, recommendations, and the challenges they faced throughout the years.
